I recently quit my job to dedicate full time to RE investing.Given the macro instability Latin American economies faced for decades, people with savings are constantly looking out for opportunities to invest in the US, specially in RE.So, a few months ago I partenered with a RE developer from my country and we are now focused on getting multifamily deals in Florida.Looking forward to connecting with all of you and adding value where I can!

Holding EXEMPT (from bankruptcy forfeiture) assets, holding assets in exempt entities (retirement accounts, pensions, IRAs, in some states insurance and annuities), homestead exemption, remote entity protection (LLC, Serial LLC, Corporations, Limited Partnerships,) Asset Protection Trusts, using separation of assets for married individuals (in certain states) charitable remainder trust, etc. can be very effective though can be costly.

An LLC is a smart move for individuals looking to protect themselves, grow their business in a professional light, and operate as a corporation. 

My Corporate office is up in Chicago and I have an office in Tampa and Miami so I know both areas well.

The reason I used that method was to be able to put the property in my name or corporation or partners.
