With the protective coating you know that even if tenants spill water and leave it on the floor you have a much longer grace period before your joints swell.

Now, everything is under the name of the LLC.If your objective for establishing the LLC is for asset protection, you really want everything under its name. 

Would like provide protection of my assets but don’t know the best way to go about it.

But in the meantime, be analyzing deals, establish relationships with key players you will need on your team (lenders, RE brokers, property managers, etc.) and start making some offers.

My question is: what are some strategies and/or creative solutions landlords and PM companies are putting into place for tenants who are starting to fall behind in rent but are protected by moratoriums?

What is the best opportunity to protect yourself? 

The best way to protect yourself is to thoroughly check tenants before they move in and thoroughly check tenants that are already in a property you are planning on purchasing.

However, if they have lived in the property over 12 months, they are going to be protected under the new law (AB1482) and you'll need "just cause" to evict them (unless there's an exemption you qualify under). 

While our market is highly competitive, it's still possible to find a worthy investment.These investors were the yachts who acted quickly while the major players (supertankers) were still fueling up. 

How can I protect myself?
