Advocates for LLCs owning properties always underscore the value of an LLC to protect the properties it controls limiting liability to only those assets in the LLC. 

Are you looking for an attorney for leases, entity formation, liability protection etc.Are you looking for a CPA for real estate, your real estate agent business, or something else.Do you really want local?

I'm guessing when a lender is involved extra steps are taken to insure that their investment is protected.

That alleviated my concern about a failing unit while protecting my wallet from an unnecessary capital expenditure. 

CA does have a 'source of income' protection that is specific to income provided as a housing subsidy (Section 8, VASH etc).

@Candice Scales:  Your LLC can still protect you, even if you don't have the name on the mailer. 

Many of these people had jobs in the service industry which suffered during covid.  

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it.We have a 12 page management contract that we've added our real experiences to over the years, with the intent of protecting both us AND the landlord.

If renting, what other measures would you do to ensure your property is protected (yearly inspections?) 

Are the moves to protect yourself/your wife or is it strictly financial?
