But that does not mean you can prudently avoid all aspects of business management and throw cares to the wind.You will be expected to treat your LLC as a seperate entity and give it that due respect in a way as a corporation for it to live at its fullest potential.

It was a loser deal for me, appealed to the sellers but they didn't respect the listing agent, and agents used to giving full service still did it and got good prices in a slow market but several when it came time to look at houses were told by the seller they wanted to use a "real" agent to find their new home.

You don't want to get yourself into any trouble, with discrimination (it's not always obvious), handling sec deposits, respecting tenant's privacy, steps in evicting, etc.You should consider getting a $1mm umbrella liability policy as well, to give you additional lawsuit protection.

I almost laugh at her but had to be respectful.

They're now worth $300k and $650k, respectively.
