Key Takeaways

1. The first line off defense against a lawsuit is to have good business practices to begin with.
2. Real estate investors are always at risk of a lawsuit, whether it be from a tenant, a worker on a rehab project or even if you are in a car accident.
3. Attorneys like to go after insurance policies first. If there are too many obstacles in the way of them collecting, they are less likely to pursue a case against you.
4. You can have multiple layers of asset protection by forming an LLC in a state which has very strong corporate laws; and the cost can be minimal.
