Hi BPers,I am looking for any advice, links etc on how I can protect assets in the US should anything happen to me.

Owners who have held their properties for 25 years are approaching the deadline of the tax benefits of depreciation, meaning, they might be more willing to seller finance as they'll still take advantage of cash flow to them without being completely removed from the asset.

Syndications are similar to REITs but, on average, have higher risk as they are chasing lower quality assets. 

Generally, your tenants will not have assets to go after.

For example, spend $50k to pay off your remaining loan or use that money to acquire more assets?

I would like to try and obtain one property, see how it goes, then try to expand quickly afterwards.

As I’m going through the process of purchasing a multi +5 units under an LLC and obtaining a mortgage, according to lender building qualifies for mortgage not myself and a personal guarantee would be needed.

your best bet is check with a lawyer or a company that specializes in that...honestly im not sure if its a like or kind assets since your going from residential to commercial

@Mike Dymski I agree with your take that syndication opportunities allow you to invest in these asset classes with your work being on the validation of the operator. 

Take this number and divide it by the cap rate for that asset class in that area usually .05-.08.
