Multifamily real estate has traditionally been a stable asset class, and the Washington D.C. metro has traditionally been a stable market area, making the two together a good safe bet, especially for anyone with a long-term view of their investing strategy.

Now I question if I will be able to obtain fire insurance.  

In our case, we used our CPA, who creates SD 401(k) plans for his clients, though I’m sure he obtains the boilerplate from a facilitator.

It separates your personal assets from your business, providing a safeguard if any legal issues arise related to tenants or the property.

In the assets I am considering - the seller is typically selling because they no longer have the time or energy. 

What I've had clients do in the past is make an offer without a financing contingency where they tell the seller that they are getting a mortgage to close the deal, but also provide proof of assets to show that they can/will close by liquidating the assets if the loan gets declined.

Initially they said they would make payments to me and crap like they have millions in assets, just no liquid assets. 

Will depend on several factors like the type of property, type of tenants, your risk tolerance, other assets you own, your estate planning, laws where the property is located, etc.

I'm partnered with an escrow agency that accepts crypto and is familiar with handling the asset.
