There are asset protection companies who make lots of money off this - I talked to one who said it's $13,000 (for 4 properties) to set up layers of protection then annual fees after this. 

So I will speak to you know, mask off in a raw and unfiltered way and tell you what has happened to me in the last few months, this I believe is one for the books on real estate horror stories as I have lost all of my money and nearly lost my life. 

I would note that some lenders don't like "layered" ownership structures.

Quote from @Chris Seveney: Quote from @Jay Hinrichs: Quote from @Evan Polaski: @Hyun Supul, without diving too far into this, and the devil is always in the details, when I see this, I can't help but assume this whole offering is a way to for them to raise pref equity for their own deals, but wait, that won't look too good, so let's layer in some private credit, too.It says it will lend money AND invest pref equity into MF deals owned by Disrupt and Open Door Capital.Questions to ask: what allocation is going to loans versus pref equity in their own deals?  

I also like to use incidental insurance as an additional layer such as Waivo to cover items.

As I understood that allowed me to have an extra layer of liability protection. 

But ultimately, any cost to the syndicator is ultimately a cost to the deal, which means that at the end of the day it costs the investor.Investors that can find quality sponsors, and do proper due diligence on them, can save an entire layer of cost by investing directly with those carefully selected sponsors versus investing through crowdfunding portals.Good luck!

AND it's recommended to layer in longer term monthly type of payments, like rentals.

A second layer of protection is that these trusts need to be litigated in the country the trust is set up in.

But because Doorvest relies on a Zillow feed to feed their data monster, they may not know you have a portal to the 7th layer of Hell located on your property.
