Gary McKissick Forming your LLC
2 August 2014 | 21 replies
Unless you have a lot of money your worried about protecting, or a situation like @Marcia Maynard  don't run out and form an LLC thinking it will save you, and you can put any clauses you want in your lease, if someone wants to sue you they can, and if they have a valid reason for suing you, they could win.Get a good umbrella policy, at least $1 million, and manage the property properly,,the insurance will provide your defense if someone does sue you.I always put it this way, if your tenant tells you they smell gas and you do nothing, they tell you again that a few days later, you do nothing, and the house blows up and hurts someone, your in trouble, I don't care if you have an LLC, series LLC, 19 different shell corporations etc,,,you didn't take action to resolve the situation and will be held personally liable (after all you were the one that didn't take action).
