Listen to the CPA because if you don't you pierce the corporate veil and make your LLC worthless

Now I'm back and trying to develop a 5-year plan to build a passive income portfolio and retire from my corporate job.  

We recently moved from a rental owned by a large corporation, which I have since discovered is known for shady business practices(D+ rating) and has been hit with a large lawsuit last year.

Is it part of a joint venture or large corporation? 

Then later have them apply for an L so long as they set up a corporate structure and have managerial experience with enough income to support themselves.

Will depend on several factors like the type of property, type of tenants, your risk tolerance, other assets you own, your estate planning, laws where the property is located, etc.Any lawsuits would be limited to the assets of the LLC and not your personal assets (assuming you run the LLC appropriately and the corporate veil is not pierced).

She was laid off after 20 years in corporate job.

In order for me not piercing the corporate veil?

To be clear an alternative lender is not a commercial bank, hard money, or private money that you may be accustomed too.An alternative lender is a private corporation in business to originate commercial loans or secured loans based on real assets.  

If I purchase a rental in my name, keep the loan for it personally, and deed the property to my LLC does that make it easier for someone suing the LLC to "pierce the corporate veil" and come after me?
