Visit our academy: Articles Podcasts Video JOIN OUR GROUP Frequently asked questions What are the 'pillars of Asset Protection'? 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. How can Land Trusts help me avoid the due-on-sale clause? For this method, you’ll need an LLC and a Land Trust.
