We’re proud to announce that Ron Sudman, CEO of Management One, has been featured in Forbes as a contributor to the Forbes Business Council. His latest article, “Sole Proprietors, LLCs And Umbrella Insurance: A Landlord’s Guide To Asset Protection,” provides critical insights for rental property owners navigating today’s increasingly complex legal landscape.

With more than 40 years of experience guiding landlords, Ron shares real-world lessons learned from decades of managing rental properties across Southern California. His Forbes article focuses on one of the most important but often overlooked aspects of property ownership: protecting your personal assets from liability exposure.

Why This Matters for Orange County and Riverside Landlords

Whether you own a single rental home or a growing portfolio, property owners in Orange County and Riverside County face significant risk if their properties are not properly structured and insured. As Ron explains in the article, one lawsuit can jeopardize decades of wealth-building, especially for landlords operating as sole proprietors without adequate liability protection.

Drawing on firsthand experience from Orange County property management and Riverside property management, Ron outlines:

  • The key differences between sole proprietorships and LLCs
  • The hidden risks of unlimited personal liability
  • How umbrella insurance policies can provide an added layer of protection
  • Why legal and insurance decisions should align with long-term investment goals

These insights are especially relevant in high-cost, high-liability markets like Orange County and rapidly growing areas throughout Riverside County.

Real-World Expertise, Not Theory

What sets this Forbes article apart is its foundation in real cases. Ron has seen landlords face lawsuits over issues as simple as trip-and-fall incidents sometimes occurring on city sidewalks outside the property putting personal homes, savings, and retirement at risk. These scenarios reinforce why proper asset protection planning is essential for every rental property owner.
