With Private Money, you need to have your primary focus on protecting them and their investment.

The Garn St Germain Act would protect you against a due on sale clause.

Need advise on how to set up best and practical asset protection.

When in doubt I'd advise to extend a closing and pay a professional in their respective field to make sure you are protected. 

Hi @Parney Willson, my short answer is that there is easier and less risky money to be made in real estate than buying a condo with a rent stabilized tenant, in NYC.1) Condo - lots of additional due diligence needed on the condo association and risk to you if others do not keep up with their dues2) Rent Stabilized tenant - NYC recently implemented a new set of regulations called the Statewide Security and Tenant Protection Act 2019.

For example, if there is only 20 to 25% equity in the properties (that is a protection), there's nothing much for anyone to get in a lawsuit.

The joint venture process won't give you the same asset protection though.

The only drawback I have found in this method is I may loose the Liability protection on my Parent LLC if one of the other LLCs has a problem since it would be listed as a Member.
