My first 3 properties were purchased in my name and I thought I was smart by purchasing an umbrella policy to cover them all.After reading as listening to advice on BP I see that I should setup an LLC and have a team (CPA, lawyer, etc) advising me.I wonder if anyone can share the team of Advisors they use, who they are (CPA, Lawyers, etc) and how they found a good one.  

A good umbrella policy for $1-2M should cover you if anything bad happens.

So you'll need your LLC to have bank accounts, check books, address, everything.Or you can just keep it in your name and get an umbrella insurance policy.Also, if you do not have a ton of equity in your property, then you have very little for someone to sue you for... 

@Caryn CasarezCorrect that your spouse would also fall under the disqualified party umbrella. 

Then it is pretty cheap to add an umbrella policy which will provide you with a ton of liability protection.

I am guessing that they will suggest that you require the Tenant to have:- General Liability (1,000,000/occurance)- Umbrella Liability ($1mm or more)- Professional Liabiity ($1mm or more)- Tenants Legal Liability ($500,000 or $1mm)-  Abuse/Molestation covered under the Liability or as a separate limit)- Business Auto Liability ($1mm)- Workers Compensation & employers Liabiltiy- If they paid to make modifications to the property to be able to operate (ie. ramps, special doors, etc.) they may need Additions & Alterations coverage depending on what your lease says on who owns those.They will probably seek to add requirements that shift the burden of Insurance to the tennant for something that you both get drawn into.  

If you're some cash rich secret millionaire buying houses in the ghetto that are unsafe then maybe a LLC makes sense...Just get umbrella policy and be done with it.

I also have an umbrella policy covering my basic assets.

@Colby MulryMany people on this forum utilize umbrella insurance policies or LLC's for asset protection. 

Below are my numbers.Purchase price: 80kDown Payment: 16kClosing costs: 2kAnticipated Rent: $1150ExpensesVacancy: $50 (some might say low, based on my experience, I think this is reasonable)Insurance: $20 (I have a separate umbrella)HOA: $197 (well run association with decent reserves)Repairs/Capex: $100 (I don't have a ton of experience, but I think this would be attainable.
