(Trump does not use anonymous C corps - he has TRUMP in big letters on his buildings because my understanding is his attorneys use this very same technique)So the liens that strip the equity in your properties are not fake loans, they are created to truly capitalize a legal entity, hence the "economic reason" that holds up in court.Look it up on line and you will see there has not been one federal case challenging such an arrangement provided your liens were recorded "prior to" any lawsuit being initiated or filed against you.This structure saved an acquaintance of mine millions in a lawsuit on an apartment building in Chicago, where the litigants tenants wanted to slap him with punitive damages in the millions, but could not because there were no equity and if they would've won and gotten a charging order they (the plaintiffs) would've been stuck with a phantom income tax bill based on IRC 77-137Pursuant to Revenue Ruling 77-137, the IRS requires the judgment creditor in possession of a charging order to pay tax even though income was never distributed!

In my mind, there just isn't that much that can happen in a SF rental that would result in a lawsuit greater than $2.5M.

If you think your need to pay top dollar for an “agency” to do what a good GC that knows what they are doing does think again, if you don’t understand the meaning of “a good GC” that’s your own fault, as is the lack of understanding of WC that started this thread, labor laws, and whom is responsible for liability given a specific personal injury law suit.

He left after some Tenants filed a frivolous lawsuit that cost him hundreds of thousands to defend.

Until I get deals rolling in, one of my main goals is avoiding a TCPA lawsuit from contacting someone more than once.I called 20,000 probates 3 times.

As Joel mentioned, if the work is not to code, you could be facing a Law Suit if someone is injured in that unpermitted space

It is designed to pay without determining fault and to avoid lawsuits for small claims.

Do you have any idea the lawsuits that would follow?

I have an issue with a contractor that requires a lawsuit.
