Walgreens is usually brick facade and 10,000 to 13,000 sq ft in size.

Worked well until one of my carpenters took some pills, sprayed high-gloss cabinet paint everywhere (including brick on facade) and then shot my refrigerator (yes, with a gun) when I fired him.

@Johnny Kang I bought an 8 unit once where one of the air conditioners was stolen, and the thieves cut the copper to the building at the brick facade, which caught the insulation on fire on the inside.

But, a few years ago, the city did some infrastructure improvements downtown and many of the businesses freshened their facades.  

We do have a brick home, but the façade is the only exterior brick.

Some repointing of the brick facade is needed.  

So, an LLC would protect you from creditors (ignoring cases where you gave a personal guarantee for a loan), but it wouldn't protect you from tort (negligence) cases like a brick facade falling on a tenant or protect you from Fair Housing Act violations penalties.

Hey guys,So I'm working on a 2-story 1038 sqft full gut rehab in Point Breeze which consists of the following: new roof, rebrick facade, tear down and rebuild back wall in existing location, demo the inside down to joists, convert to 2BD/2.5BA, unfinished basement (just parge walls and finish floor with epoxy, install all finishes throughout.

(Good luck changing the facade then.).

This means the brick is just a facade to the structure and is not carrying weight.
