What do you do for asset protection? 

If you can negotiate seller financing for the deal and the seller is motivated enough to move the property, then you can build in loan terms to protect you and your investors from the dreaded capital calls because the property is in the red.

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 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.
