This is a business and my job is to protect my investment and rental empire.

You seriously need to talk to an attorney in your state to understand the legal ramifications of intermingling your llcs, and what impact that has on your asset protection.

Does anyone out there have expertise in the multi-family space out there?  

Just make sure you have an attorney who knows the field and they can do their bast to protect you with the paperwork.  

We have expertise in Yardi!

Military Deployment Orders / PCS:The Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA)is a law that is intended to help protect the legal rights of members called to active duty.

I'd like to talk to someone who has some expertise in the area.

This is to protect you.

Our goals are mostly cash flow right now.I'm looking to learn more about different investment strategies, how to identify good properties, how other investors structure their asset protection (LLCs vs Trusts vs Umbrella Insurance) and stay updated on trends in the market.

Like borrowing from a relative (ok well sometimes they fault but still..) or friend.Getting to know the person first before jumping in to do business with them, especially handing over money of that sum to acquire a loan in my opinion is doing due diligence for protection.
