For the purpose of asset protection (protect against frivolous law suits Ect) -- Should he put it in an LLC?

There are many reasons for this: punitive taxes, inflation, political changes, corruption, exchange rates, lawsuits/predators, etc.An offshore carrier with a policy denominated in US dollars would likely be a great vehicle for financing US investment... if you could get a loan in the US that is secured by an assignment of collateral against a cash value policy held offshore.

Especially because I plan on moving to Ohio and a lot of wholesalers are facing law suits I've heard. 

You do that you have an old product on the market and a top price.When you reduce you have to "shock" the buyers and be at a price slightly under market so you are the best deal in town to sell fast.On overview description in your listing "A finished lower level is complete with den, full bath and bedroom (great nanny/in-law suite), flooded with natural light."

After all current hub bub regarding the LL  Chinese made laminate I'd want to be sure I wasn't buying a lawsuit.

We expected it would be dismissed as a frivolous lawsuit.

For me if it is in a decent area I would live there and make it a single family  converting some portion to a nanny/in law suite looking towards selling.

My perspective comes as a licensed mold assessor in the state of Texas, and as an expert witness who has testified in lawsuits between parties after the disclosure, repairs, and sale were completed poorly.If your issue of concern is small then I'd say (at the LEAST) you should hire a consultant to recommend how to solve it, and then have them test the air (a clearance test) after any work is completed.If it is a larger issue you may need the consultant AND a remediation contractor.

If the tenants find out or even have 1 or 2 unexplained headaches, or any other unpleasant symptom, you are prime for a lawsuit.

Notes come to the surface in bankruptcy, law suits, tax audits, estate planning and estate settlements, attempts to refinance, seller tries to sell a note, someone applies for benefits with the state or they go to a nursing home.
