I live in the Los Angeles area and the attorneys I look seem to major in litigation and personal injury.

Most likely the state where the property is located is where lawsuits would be brought if they are something for personal injury like a trip and fall or something of that nature because the “cause of action” arose in that state.

Maybe that's how you have survive in your neck of the woods.  

(I didn’t see that stated but you mentioned first homeowners loan.) if so…You don’t need an LLC…1)Any Injury in the property will likely be result in you personally being sued as well. 2) it sounds like you will have negative equity (assuming 10% selling costs and 10% or less downpayment.)3) it sounds like you probably have a minimal net worth and are virtually judgement proof.

We're in your neck of the woods sometimes, if you ever want to talk shop.

To add insult to injury, new construction went into the toilet after the Great Recession. 

Glad to hear that you are moving out to our neck of the woods.

One of my tenants did this.. and the bankruptcy trustee made us give back 3 or 4 months of rent payments  talk about insult to injury.. ugh. 

This doesn't seem like something a good old-fashioned a$$ kicking wouldn't solve....I could see Williamson County landlords or even some of the police doing that in my neck of the woods ;-)
