Hi guys, I have some questions about putting property into LLCs/protecting assets, any information is greatly appreciated: Question 1: my understanding is that an LLC needs to be actively conducting business in its registered state in order for the LLC protections to apply, otherwise a judge could potentially pierce the corporate veil.

Purchasing the LLC gives you ownership of the property, but it also opens you up to additional legal exposure since the entity has been active, and there is no way to really know for sure what else they used the LLC for.

(For a lot of gurus, the education is just a top of funnel entry point for them to then have you find deals for them, invest in their deals, etc)If they are active in real estate themselves, I would ask how much they are making from their RE versus their courses?  

Additionally, you could also check with your insurance provider to confirm there's no active risk and provide that documentation to the lender as reassurance.
