The more compartmentalized your assets are, the safer they are. That’s why the two pillars of asset protection are the separation of assets and anonymity. Ideally, you should have your name off of your assets, and they should be separate from you and each other (with a corporation which acts as your property management company). Why is a Series LLC better than a Traditional LLC? After you’ve learned how to start an LLC, explore how the Series LLC offers anonymity, lawsuit protection, compartmentalized liabilities, and it may reduce operating costs and streamline administration. The Series LLC provides protection from liability across multiple “child” Series, each treated as if it were its own LLC for liability purposes.
