Questioning the level of protection by LLCMy husband and I have lived in greater Los Angeles area for 10 years with modest assets worth protecting from creditors.

But I want to switch to my name then do a refi.

Am I protected if I load the properties into an LLC?

It has to do with protecting the buyer in terms of title issues, title insurance in SC will not cover a new owner unless a new survey has been done in that new owner's name.

This may be a good solution for you but be sure to understand the law and operate it properly so you don't lose the protections afforded.Most investors I deal with own the property in their own name.

Real estate commissions were created specifically for the purpose of protecting the public from situations like this.

@Michael Miller, I think that protecting your assets in a LLC also has tax benefits to you as well that you may not receive otherwise. 

@Nic Gonzales, you really need to speak with a CPA and asset protection attorney who are familiar with REI.

Everything goes on a credit card, because you are 100% protected on the transaction.

How would I set up a contract that protects my interest and will not force me to sell if they back out later. can I have them do a payment and make it non refundable if they don't have financing by the end of the term.
