It was full of people I didn't know, including the daughter (home on a school day), the older son playing Grand Auto Theft for hours (had lost his job).

Something else to keep in mind is a LLC does not provide absolute protection so you still need to take other measures to protect yourself like insurance, umbrella insurance policy, trusts to help further hide your identity, don't use your name and home address as the registered agent for the LLC. 

Due to some recent theft at one of the buildings, I want to install some cloud based video cameras, while keeping the monthly expenses as low as possible.

I emailed the agent, and he sent me a financial statement from the room next door, which is identical. 

It would be best if he calls the city and asks them to turn it in (although it is already on) in order to establish service for 2 reasons: (1) He's going to need to have the water on for the when the property gets inspected (banks won't loan unless everything is proven to be working) and (2) Right now the city could charge him with theft of water by turning the water back on himself (well, really the contractor did it but the city does not care). 

Even ignoring the 'theft' risks, you have gift tax return exposure (and use of lifetime exemption), transfer taxes, no basis step up involved with gifting the property back and forth, probate risks if the 'buddy' passes away and didn't update their will for the property. 

I would be grateful if you are willing to share your OA text .... w/ identities removed of course. 

The community has a strong identity.

There could be accusations of theft that you will have to deal with.

You can also click on the little dots on the crime map and it will state what happened i.e. shots fired, trouble with subject, theft, vehicle stolen, burglary etc along with a date.Also, the boundaries of these maps are somewhat fluid.
