One slip-and-fall lawsuit at a rental in Memphis shouldn't cost you your personal home in California. But if you have a "sloppy" legal structure, that is exactly the risk you are taking. As you scale your portfolio, your liability grows, and the old "one LLC for everything" strategy stops working.

In this episode of the 5-Minute PRIME Podcast, host Martin Maxwell builds the "Legal Fortress." We dismantle the amateur mistakes that leave investors exposed and reveal the institutional-grade "Hub and Spoke" architecture used by the ultra-wealthy to firewall their assets. Plus, we tackle the new federal transparency laws that have everyone panicking about privacy.

Tune in to learn:

• The "Foreign Qualification" Trap: Why using your home-state LLC to buy property across the country is a compliance nightmare that can get your eviction cases thrown out of court.
• The Hub and Spoke Model: A blueprint for using a Wyoming Holding Company to centralize your cash and isolate your liability.
• The "Charging Order" Secret: The specific legal mechanism in Wyoming that stops creditors from seizing your properties, even if they win a lawsuit against you personally.
• Privacy vs. Secrecy: The truth about the new Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) and why reporting to FinCEN doesn't mean your tenants get to know where you live.
• The Series LLC: An advanced look at the "honeycomb" structure for rapid scalers who want to minimize filing fees without sacrificing protection.
