There's a book out there about something called a "Nevada
Corporation." Basically, setting up as a corporation in NV offers
some interesting bennies ... one of which would be that if your
corporation is sued, you can't lose your possessions -- since you as
the corporation would lease everything.
There are other advantages; you might want to do a search on
amazon.com for an appropriate book.
As for drawbacks, I believe the cost of setting up one of these is
~$400 or so.
Note that this is not an endorsement for this method, nor should it
be considered legal advice. Just something to look into.
