I’m curious if I should be moving these properties to several LLCs to protect my assets.

While asset appreciation is a factor, it is a minor one in my decision making and I treat it purely as "gravy".

The notarized stuff is all on the seller.The only problem I'd see with buying from overseas is getting the bank to do the wire, they are funny about that if you cant sign the authorization and they probably wont have branches where you are at.

Less headache of having to deal with having them give opinion, signing titles, etc.I of course offset that with the fact that the credit line will most likely be tied to you personally, whereas the specific deal may not as they have an asset tied to.Without knowing all the details, that's about the best opinion I can offer.Either way, doesn't sound like it's a bad problem to have.

If you could provide more info on the returns you are seeking that would place the money into certain asset classes and being passive versus active.

Do HOA's have legal authority to restrict, by % or number, units that can be rental and insist that a sale be only owner occupant?

There are a property or two I have found that I project a cash flow of about $500/mo.My other thought is this: I would be eliminating a nice asset I would have-the ability to get at $20k whenever I want/need it.

I've created an irrevocable trust to house my assets naming my son as beneficiary.

Sometimes you can say that your liabilities are higher than your assets and you are insolvent.

If you know what percentage a line item should be and it appears out of whack there is a reason for it.The seller has been cutting corners somewhere to make THEIR actual numbers appear better than micro market averages for the area.Also and this applies to other asset classes specifically you will see in retail centers for example the actual numbers average to 14 sq ft but are vintage leases.
