Immediately after watching this...I swiveled my chair to my trusty whiteboard calendar, circled "February 1"...and told no one what it meant. 

Here is a list of the tenant protections (eviction rules, etc.) each state has put forth in light of COVID-19, along with links to each of the states' websites:https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/emergency-bans-on-evictions-and-other-tenant-protections-related-to-coronavirus.htmlThere have been bill proposals of "nationwide cancellation of rents and home mortgage payments through the duration of the coronavirus pandemic, which would include full payment forgiveness with no accumulation of debt for renters or homeowners," but no actual bill has been passed to-date: https://nypost.com/2020/05/02/what-to-do-if-you-cant-pay-rent-amid-coronavirus-pandemic/The most drastic thing I've seen so far that comes closest to tenants legally not having to pay rent, is a temporary pause on rent payments in L.A.

Not all exits, mean repositioning equity, but sometimes just how to protect it. 

Also, a large amount of the land in the country is protected, and so there generally should be less development than other countries, making land more valuable.

Disclosure:  I am not a lawyer.If you do not have enough cash to form the LLC, what are you trying to protect by having an LLC? 

Is there any steps I can take to protect myself and my property?

Many of these books you and others recommend are probably motivational/inspirational (I.e Think and Grow Rich, or 10x growth) and meant to give us a 💪🏾 mental strength that will get us through the trials and help with blocking out negative Nancy’s, boosting us into the realm of the successful thinkers.My question is how do YOU protect YOUR energy 🔋 from negative family/friends, harassers, haters, and just general bad vibes?

Fortunately, since you also live in the house, that makes you exempt from both Sacramento’s local rent control (Tenant Protection Program) and California’s statewide rent control (AB1482).Now, with regard to how to raise the rent, after the lease expires and it transitions to a month-to-month (MTM) agreement, you are free to raise the rent by any amount you choose. 

How would we all protect against that?

@Nick Liu, Stable rentors are a treasure to be protected.
