Protect home from SBA personal guarantee

by an investor from University of California, Berkeley - Haas School of Business

I'm considering an SBA 7(a) loan that comes with a personal guarantee. Is there a legal way to exclude a home from the personal guarantee, for example by moving it into a trust before the SBA loan is taken out? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

If you don't have a house, you can't PG it. Sell the house, close the loan, buy another house PG-free.
