Albany, New York is an excellent place to launch a real estate investors business. With a population of 99K and ~10K businesses, Albany offers a robust market. Real estate investors face significant liability from tenant injuries, property damage claims, and environmental hazards. An LLC separates your personal assets from your investment properties, so a lawsuit against one property does not jeopardize your home, savings, or other holdings. Many investors create a separate LLC for each property to further isolate risk.
