Even though I may have a relationship with them I want to make sure I protect myself. 

I need some sort of protection as I hire them often daily I have another neighbor who is in California and does much less construction than me. 

I wouldn't post publicly on the internet that you are planning to quit your job.

Asset protection becomes a major concern if you own a bunch of free and clear properties here.You sound like you've recently dealt with some estate matters, but the question of your heirs and their ownership interest in any of your assets come to mind as a concern. 

People are nuts...protect yourself first!

@Jeremy VanDelinder You don't have to give away all your secrets in a public forum, but how do you locate your properties? 

Yes, it forces me to save in the form of equity and is protected from the rent increases I was facing at my previous residence, but I turned a blind eye to house hacking because of my love of home design, architecture, and having a space to myself that I really enjoy. 

The idea isn't to commit fraud, quite the opposite, that's why I'm asking on a public forum. 

Additionally, if investing is something they are interested in, it is likely not going to be in note investing or real estate because their likely method of investment is retirement/401k.So, on one occasion, before I even considered seller financing as a viable option, I researched to see who the seller was via public records and whether they owned multiple properties.

Everytime you spend money for each property, you can designate for which property it is so you can record it in your accounting software.The PM company also receives the rents.This simplies the banking and accounting but at the same time, each property is in its own LLC for asset protection purposes.
