I think it depends on if your in the business or you have a day job and your investing as a side line or as an alternative to other main line investments like stocks bonds and closely held companies.It seems to me those of us who do this for a living appreciation and or really forced appreciation is the play.. either buying cash flow properties that have been miss managed ( probably like what@Cody L. has done in Houston turning them around raising value through better financials refinancing them.. that's quite popular..Or others that are like myself developers.. we take raw land create subdivisions and build homes and work on a X factor not a rate of return factor..

even if it does or doesn't, wouldn't it make sense to have all the liability on a company just in case there is an incident where someone is injured or worse and insurance wont cover?
