He should be able to answer immediately.

Seeing as you’re not comfortable with that structure, tell him. It is your…[Read more]

The simple answer is no. It isn’t imperative for the majority of people. But it really depends on what the longer term plan is & your situation. How big will your portfolio get realistically? Will you invest in multiple states? Is your profession the type that is risky from a litigation point of view?

These are the things you should…[Read more]
