If you still have US real estate assets when you pass away your heirs will still benefit from the stepped up basis regardless of their residence so that shouldn't really factor into the equation.  

I have a great asset I found to flip and I'm looking for a hard money lender. 

So he wind up obtaining no money down properties from tired landlords, a win/win for both.

Did a seller finance deal to obtain 3 duplexes for just $5,000 down.

There are about a million posts about asset protection, usually having to do with asking how to go about doing it, or what the 'best' strategy is. 

I’m interested in obtaining my property management license to become a property manger and eventually managing my own property.

Liability protection doesn’t make sense assuming you had a low down payment and therefore there’s little to no assets to go after for a disgruntled tenant.Just do everything under your own name. saves you money, time, over-complications, and paperwork.

I would consider purchasing another asset in the area for economies of scale and possibly start building out a leasing agent and full time maintenance, if you like the market and area.Best of luckGino

@Carloz Gil There are principles from two books that come to mind:Rich Dad, Poor Dad, by Robert KiosakiYour primary residence (unless you do a house hack, a lot of information about that on this website) is NOT an asset.

When I called my local court house here in San Antonio and asked if and how I could obtain a list of “Notice to defaults” they did not know what I was talking about.
