SupplyLas Vegas is unique because it is a tiny island of privately owned land in an ocean of federal land.

Most do a LLC but again it can be very different - for example I have a C corporation, had a S corp, had a LLC etc. and each one for very unique and different situations. 

Just keep in mind that there are further steps you'll want to keep to minimize the possibility that your entity is ignored for this kind of personal liability (say, if you were the person who didn't properly clear snow, or if your finances and the LLC's are comingled).And I agree with @Chris Seveney, insurance may provide adequate protection based on what's available to you.

Right now, I’m working on my first luxury flip, have another flip under contract, and just picked up my first mobile home.One of my most unique experiences was my first deal, which I negotiated with a seller who was in prison.

Quote from @Doug Smith: When we started this company, I had been a special assets officer (handling non-performing loans for banks trying to extricate them from the deals with as little damage to them as possible) during the last big crash.

Also unique to Pittsburgh: Definitely buy mine subsidence insurance.

I rather be in compliance as much as possible.

I have around $100K in liquid capital and access to a $50K HELOC at 6% for the next 10 months before it transitions to a variable rate.I have a unique situation where I earn a living through sports betting, which limits my ability to show traditional income growth.

Out of state investing is OF COURSE possible, but if you are trying to do it as your first deal I just 100% agree it's going to be harder all the way around the board and unless you have that economical delta, you are better of investing where you live.David Greene made it look easy on BiggerPockets but he also had the BP podcast as leverage and could build a ridiculous team remotely.
