Paul, the deportation efforts aren't overly concerning personally because the few assets I have left in my current portfolio don't have a high immigrant resident profile (nor do the submarkets).  

@Ryan Daniel  I will preface this with the fact that I have a legal background, specifically with estate planning and asset protection in relation to real estate investments.

Your LLC has no "business" other than the asset(s) it owns.

And once a person get's to a certain size of scale, most do NOT get significant personal $ via cash-flow, it's still all about appreciation because most obtain liquid capital via refinance. 

I have a vision of building and developing mobile home communities in upstate NY that are vertically integrated to allow future members to choose from a catalog of homes, have them installed, provide them with financing options, and make the process of selecting, buying, and living in the community very smooth.Since this is my first time doing this, I would love to chat with an experienced mobile home developer on the following items:Zoning - navigating the zoning process to allow the community to be allowedStart up costs - I am a finance person who would love to better understand start up costs - septic / electrical / water / pads / roads / etcOn Going Maint Costs - in building our business case, I want to build a conservative financial model to capture all re-occurring expenses - utilities, landscaping, capex, septic clean out, etc.I know this is a lot, but would greatly appreciate talking to someone who is an expert in this asset class!

This my goal to obtain over the next 5-10 years.

This can extend timelines and add layers of bureaucracy.Mission alignment: Many non-profits are cautious about selling assets if the sale could appear misaligned with their mission.

This also allows for property owners to more easily write-off assets that get damaged/destroyed as the value of these assets is determined as part of the study.

The bottom line is this: Concealment is not asset protection, proper (time consuming and expensive, I know) management, and good, prudent, practices (ditto), WHICH ARE ADHERED TO, and insurance (expensive), are needed for asset protection.

some hype but also a lot of good information.also remember: seller finance of a paid off asset, lower risk.
