I have an investor that interested in backing us on our next venture and we are collectively trying to figure out what type of documents need to be drawn up to protect both us and the investor.

Heat is a big deal in the cold upstate region, and by including it I'm trying to ensure no frozen pipes and protect my investment.  

And you're right, it's becoming much more difficult as time goes on since '08 and lenders are taking further measures to protect themselves.

Hello, Looking for residential (rental) properties out-of-state and create an LLC for an asset protection. 

I suggest forming an LLC. some here will say you do not have to that Insurance will protect you, that's up to you. if you bring him in as a partner i would have an operation agreement drawn up by an attorney on whatever the two of you agree too. you may want to approach them as just being a lender at a certain percentage rate for the loan.

In SC bankruptcy doesn't protect you from not paying your taxes.My County knew the house was in bankruptcy and they issued me the tax deed anyway.

For my attorney friends out there @Jessica Zolotorofe is there additional legal protections if I file the LLC separately rather than as a disregarded entity?

What do you fellas do to protect against this?

If you don't know the process in your state you need a way to protect yourself.

If you screw up, you risk being in a nasty lawsuit for failing to protect his interests.
