That way if they Stay in the property all the way up through the actual eviction date there will be a recorded judgement with their names on record and future landlords will be able to take this into consideration when they try to rent again. 

What would a lawsuit and judgement get you?  

Tenants with regular w-2 income know they can be garnished for the judgement so anyone with a decent job probably won't do this either.

Its hard to find them to serve them, and harder to collect on a judgement...because...they dont pay that either. 

The LLC would be important in limiting the damage if the judgement exceeds the available limits or is for something outside  I would suggest also getting your attorney's opinion on the advantages of the LLC for your situation if it comes to an either/or decision.

I sued the tenant for damages solely based on the fact that they inherited this property and I could place a lien after recieving my judgement.

They have a lease If they decide to just leave, well now you go to court and get a judgement against them.

a lot of this depends on how much TRUE cash or equity your trying to protect.. if your just putting minimum down on turn key rentals.. there is not a lot of equity to protect and would be rare to the extreme anyone would pay to go the full monty getting a judgement against a house that by the time they foreclose and pay off our secured lenders and real estate fee's etc there is not much left.keep in mind 20% equity in the Average C class rental is really no equity.. nothing really to get.if your worried about cash for your daughters you can set up an irrevocable trust for them right now. 

I'm not far away.The next two sentences are the most important thing I'm trying to convey: The one thing I know about business is that injecting emotion into decision making clouds your judgement.

Or file in small claims court to get a judgement and make the collection agency's case stronger.
