Sounds like a  good question for an attorney in your state, if you still have concerns about liability once the property is sold.

@Michael Breedlove you sound like you have done your research and have made wise decisions on what you currently have.

And while it sounds all "tough guy" to say you or your cronies will keep mum when the IRS asks questions.....that is not what happens in practice when they shine the light on you.Tracking source of funds to a separate LLC that you funded in  a "private" state - even if it is "owned" in "someone else's name" (aka via a nominee) is easily done if you are the IRS. 

I'm thinking of moving some of my stock market investments to real estate... to diversify, and because it sounds more fun and tangible.

Sounds stupid but still new to investing and I’m aleays rehinking everything.

Thanks for the sounds advice!

but sounds like some folks have some horror stories...

@JonathanHerron thats why if the seller says that then it sounds more like another investor that already took over the property.

Something about that doesn't sound right to me.
