Account Closed Asset Protection Success Stories - Are there any?
25 April 2018 | 4 replies
from my point of view if your an individual and not partnering with folks who ever is going to sue you is going to name you personally.. this is where you need good insurance to take up your defense as your first line of defense.whether they have the right to sue you is immaterial.. or whether they will prevail is immaterial.. if your operating as a group or partnership and have clean records this can limit your exposure to your ownership.other than that  retirement accounts should be maxed out they basically cant be touched... certain trusts.but just LLC labyrinths like you mention.. those are not going to do it for most or.. you will spend a ton of dough fighting to make the position they can't sue you. when suits happen everyone is named .. that's when you need good insurance to handle your defense.

One  (the good one)  no compains in almost 5 years,  she pays on time (most of the time) her part of the lease,  one time I had a really bad tenant,  she was in her 20s with 5 kids and no job,  Housing authoirty was paying the 100% of her lease but anytime I was on the property she was with  some "visitors"     normally more than 5, after having osme discucions becasue she was not a clean lady I asked her to leave,  the good thing is she moved out without any legal action,  Be careful accepting the tenant,  even they are coming with the voucher,  you need to do your due diligence all the time,  credit score is not an issue but eviction yes Good luck

Carloz Gil Advice on credit score.
22 April 2018 | 9 replies
It is also easier to just pull out a credit card instead of having to deal with cash...I know some will argue that this ease of use is dangerous due to the potential to spend money that i don't actually have...but rest assured, my social awkwardness far outweighs my urge to spend money when I do make it out of the house.
