Even if your properties are in LLC’s, these do not always protect you money from being attacked in a lawsuit or bankruptcy I have been through this and IRA money and my primary residence was not touched. 2.

Most likely the state where the property is located is where lawsuits would be brought if they are something for personal injury like a trip and fall or something of that nature because the “cause of action” arose in that state.

Assuming they're going to ignore it, you're going to have file a lawsuit to collect your money and hope it works out well.

Quote from @Ashwini Venkatesan: The LLC is designed to protect your privacy or separate the investment from your personal assets in case of a lawsuit.

@Travis Bagley -  An LLC isn't going to protect you from a lawsuit, especially if it's a single member. 

And even if they cannot, an aggressive lawyer will try to include the owners of any entity in a lawsuit anyway.

Possibly even a lawsuit, major fine or loss of license.

Thus, if a rental property is owned debt-free, than 100% of the equity is exposed in terms of lawsuits, for example.

I also look for lawsuits and see what happened in them.

Also talk to an attorney- becuase an LLC that doesn't actually own the asset that would be the route of any lawsuit likely isn't actually offering any proteciton either legally
