If no title transfer is involved who is the 3rd party dealer protecting both parties during the transction?

Would a second loan position provide my landlord with some protection (just in case I do not pay the loan)?

After talking to IRA finance group, the advise was potentially starting LLC a in those other locations and partnering with my SDIRA and then when I move creating a C Corp to umbrella them.I think I may be over Complicating the process, but I don’t want to get hit with taxes and want to protect myself and use some of my retirement investments to get going and play with my cash simultaneously Incase I can li find employment and this thing turns truly full time (tracking notes, liens, getting my broker license, etc). 

I think seeing residential real estate, especially handyman fixer-upper properties, as an investment is very different when you come from certain immigrant cultures that have histories of doing this: as my wife is Russian and I am Greek with a significant personal and family history in this work, it wasn't so difficult.But in general, when I am convinced that something is worthwhile and I think my wife should look at it, I give her a manageable amount of material and ask her to look at it.

I believe going forward Virginia will be a more tenant friendly state with more protections for tenants along with more restrictions for landlords. 

If they're doing it right, they will protect your property, income, time, and sanity.

A plumbing cabinet, electrical cabinet, protective gear drawer, flooring cabinet, hardware, tools, etc.

@Jonathan Santiago@Dave FosterI'd agree to keep your short term activities separate from your long term activities as a matter of asset protection / liability. 

It's easier and better protection.

If I own my properties via an investment holding company that owns subsidiaries that take title to my properties can I do a property cash out refinance and pay the proceeds to the holding company tax free to buy more properties that are fully owned by the holding company to protect each of my properties from each other.Would an LLC or Corporation structure be preferred for this to work?
