There is a high degree of correlation between VC returns and public stocks. 

Hi all,What kind of legal protection/steps should I seek before buying a possible rental or property? 

It's more important to protect your downside than it is to maximize your upside.Rarely, if ever, put your whole bank roll at risk.Pass on marginal deals.3.

@Inna Mitelman Yes, there's is a different, public "version".  

(I'm not a lawyer or an expert on the many borrow protection laws in place at a federal level, so wage garnishment may even be prohibited by federal law.)

On the hoarder situation we have found it most helpful to include language from the public health code on sanitation.  

Public internet sites are a social gathering of all types, it's not a good place to form a real education when you might be listening to a guy with an insurance background trying to spin some real estate program.

I’m using public records more than anything for comps, values, and leads.

An S corp would offer some protection, but if it's actually worth it is very situation-specific and depends on other factors including how much income you receive from your W-2 job, etc.

No need to ensure appropriate safeguarding of SSNAnother benefit of not collecting a SSN is the landlord doesn’t have to worry about adhering to all of the varying and confusing state laws around protection of personal identifiable information (PII).
