If you got sued tomorrow, could you lose your home? In this episode of the Main Street Business Podcast, Mark J. Kohler and Mat Sorensen break down the real risks to your home equity — and the smart strategies you can use right now to protect it before it’s too late. From homestead exemptions to equity stripping, this is essential knowledge every homeowner and investor needs to understand.

We dive into how different states protect your home, when creditors can (and can’t) touch your equity, and how tools like HELOCs, retirement accounts, and domestic asset protection trusts can create powerful layers of defense. You’ll also learn the common mistakes people make — like relying too heavily on umbrella insurance or transferring assets incorrectly — and how to avoid them.
