First is does the Broker have any exposure here? 

You get immediate exposure.

It just seems your exposure is to something other than what DOW advocates.John CoreyPS.

At the same time it cites MA caselaw holding that the asset itself cannot be attached to liens against the individual owner.This article may be useful, particularly the section on Control, which says the trustee liability is generally limited to the trust itself, meaning not personal assets but trust assets, which may isolate exposure to a given trust http://yourentitysolution.com/wp-content/uploads/2...

I could possibly generate 7 x $9,000.00 or $63,000.00 in the same time.It is worth noting here that even though I would be trading over the same period of time I would not have the same exposure because I am never in the market for more than 6 months at a time.

Thus, the ability to split income can aid in reducing exposure to these new taxes.Of course, the compensation that you pay yourself must be reasonable--not too low or too high--if you want the arrangement to stand up to IRS scrutiny.

The former certainly speaks to the valid risks some of you have aptly described, the latter obviously limits you to that risk & uncertainty exposure, and in the end I guess helps determine just what kind of Investor you want  to be, or type of investments you want to make?

I do believe that if a tenant is well qualified and screened, your level of exposure is lower and PM will be much easier-resulting in better experience to the owner.The personal touch can be very important.

IRA and 401k investments give you exposure to the stock/bond markets and deferred taxes.
