And I must tell you that the statistics generally tend to support this statement.

Again YOU must verify the value independently of the seller.

Go to an independent agent.

The membership interest in the LLC is really independent from the asset held by the LLC.

Say I start a few independent websites to drive client traffic in investment property and campus rental areas or start property management and build a portfolio of units.

Your agent should have access to some statistics about the number of times the listing has been viewed, which -- while not a great indicator of interest -- should at least tell you if there are a lot of buyers out looking the past week or so, or whether it's a slow week in general.We generally can get a good idea of whether it's going to be a busy traffic weekend just by looking at the MLS statistics...if the data indicates a strong weekend, but then we don't get many showings, we start to assume that there is something wrong with our marketing or pricing.If the data indicates it could be a slow weekend, we don't get concerned about few showings.

But if you look carefully at your friends with the most stuff sometimes those are the ones with the most debt and with no idea whatsoever of what wealth is and when or if they will ever be financially independent.

Hi Shital, Virtually every report, statistic, index, news article, poll, etc. will prove that Self-Storage outperforms all other forms of investment in both good and bad economies.  

This just validates what I said even more about very few who lease purchase or option end up buying that property.If statistics show that then I wouldn't care about increases in by 2% a year.Instead I would go for a larger amount of non-refundable option money today.The buyer is willing to pay more today for thinking they will save down the road.If they don't purchase it doesn't matter anyways.

Businesses are viewed as independent and separate entities from their owners, but treating them like they are just an extension of the owner is a big no-no.Having the LLC hold a loan that is in the personal name of an owner seems to me like the two are commingled and being treated as overlapping entities.Again, I have no legal basis for saying it, and have no idea how a judge would rule, but if asset protection is important in your situation, this might be worth discussing with an attorney.Of course, I'm not sure there is a better alternative...
