"Separation" may not be possible, but I'd like to think of an LLC as an "extra layer" of protection, although you're not completely isolated from risk... just makes it harder for others.

Cap-ex was needed for:* Original 1960s kitchen, appliances out of order* Original 1960s Pepto Bismol colored tiles in the bathroom* Tobacco and marijuana stains/odor in every room* Stained carpet covering damaged hardwood* Broken side door from forced entry by police* Zero recessed lighting with 3 layers of blinds on every window* Lots of trash in the basement both on the floor and mounted to the joists overheadCheck out the Zillow listing at: https://www.zillow.com/homes/119-Jasper-Pl-Alexandria,-VA-22...What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

Rental properties are excluded from 50a6 law however lenders sometimes chose to follow it still as an overlay (additional layer) to provide protection because sometimes borrowers falsy their occupancy to exclude them from 50a6 law (like saying you dont live there and pretend living elsewhere when you in fact do as a borrower live at the aforementioned property).

NO local would buy it.for 40k or there abouts.now turn key indicates full rehab.full rehab he said is 9k  well that's bunk we know that so he is just getting lip stick on a pig.turn key company Morris I can pretty much definitively tell you wants to make at least 10k on the transaction . this is average for turn key . ( Note I fund turn key in 12 markets so I know and have been doing it for 20 years)so now we are down to 30k minus the measly 9k  that 21k for the asset.. and I suspect they bought it for less and there are wholesaler layers of profit in their as well as these areas are really dominated by wholesalers... so this asset was bought for 5 to maybe 10k from the owner.. now tell me what neighborhood in Indy were you can buy 10k houses ?????????  

When I first started, I learned that diversifying a little—maybe starting with one cash purchase for rental and layering in a financed property or two—can balance risk and cash flow.It’s also wise to consider market trends in areas where you’re looking to invest.

Umbrella insurance policies can add an extra layer of protection across your portfolio.

Roofstock is nothing more than a layer on top of the MLS that provides more information for investors.

That is another intangible asset that we are inadvertently growing.From LLC formation, to working with builders, to understanding what the city is doing, to learning the multiple layers of lending, we have automatically built relationships and a foundation of knowledge that we wouldn't have gotten in the same way through other routes.We have definitely continued to see land appreciation, which is worth mentioning.  

If someone were to slip and fall or otherwise hurt themselves at one of my properties  due to a premises liability issue, the plaintiff's counsel will file a claim against the deed holder regardless of whether I am incorporated in PA as a single member LLC or through an entity structure utilizing LLC's from states that may have better privacy laws, the deed holder entity is layered or any of the other strategies often discussed in these forums.
