Joe,I am sure you already read it, but the answer to your question in this thread was made in this thread (for those who would like to read it)http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/48/topics/31818-llc-s-vs-umbrella-policyAlso, as Greg stated, the LLC is an "inside liability protection" meaning that you personally are protected from the entity, but the entity is not protected from you.In other words, if you were to drive drunk and kill someone, they (their family) could sue both you and all your holdings, including your assets held inside your entities, but if your tenant falls and sues, they can only sue the entity (unless you were found to be negligent)
