A) You probably won't have personal liability if you weren't involved in the screwup;B) However, the LLC will be responsible;C) The assets of the LLC can be used to satisfy any judgment;D) The property gets auctioned off;E) You lose your investment in that property.If you instead have the proper promissory note, personal guarantee, mortgage, etc... what possible result?
