Just to provide some background information, I'm a medically retired Marine of 15 1/2 years.  I've been called and told some pretty crazy stuff in my lifetime.  You're going to have to dig pretty deep on those "insults" if you're going to try to trigger a response.  I'm getting some popcorn dude.  Later.

Once again you state "I'm sure that Anderson provides competent service", meaning you don't know for sure, but have decided to come back at me because of what I've not only said about them, but what I've said about what you don't know about them. Hmmm. I could respond to every little thing that you said, but I didn't take the time to read your whole response. I'm sure there are nuggets in there and I'm actually getting a good laugh at the fact that I have an LLC in Arizona that isn't doing anything. As a matter of fact, I shared some laughs with some investors in St. Louis this week over the very same thing and we all thought it was pretty funny. Get that, someone who's so afraid to pull the trigger on something that he starts an LLC and doesn't do anything with it. What a waste. If you're against asset protection that much, then good on you, but I'm all about protecting the very soon-to-be company that I'm going to be building from the ground up. I don't need a huge company with hundreds of LLCs to start out with. I start with Missouri and get my LLCs and C Corporation with appropriate structuring in Nevada for anonymity compliance and charging order protection and that's what is my business/company plan. If that doesn't work for you or you see that as worthless, well good for you. I'm surprised that you're so threatened by someone providing information regardless of whether or not you endorse the concepts or not. I've even made it clear that while someone may not do business with this firm in Nevada, the information that they provide is great. Since this is all about due diligence, then watching some youtube videos online for FREE doesn't seem like there's anything to lose for anybody, whether it's you or someone reading these posts. In the end, I'm sorry that you're threatened. I state facts and can clearly laugh about my own stupidity. Robert Kiyosaki (to mention him again) is a best-selling author, are you?? Is anyone mentioning books authored by Jerry W?? Robert Kiyosaki is not the only one that talks about asset protection (which can lead to tax advantages/benefits), but he's the one I'm quoting. Go with or without Anderson, the information is the same. I've never seen anyone so threatened by information. This is biggerpockets, right? Where as much information is gathered for the benefit of the community as possible so that the community can decide for itself what best suits their business needs.

While there are folks on this site that do not do this asset protection stuff, who are you to say that the information can't or shouldn't be provided because little Jerry W says so.  Grow up.  "If I see you advising folks to buy their (Anderson) service, I will expose your advice for what it is ill informed.  They probably offer a very good service, in fact it is very likely they do."  I'm trying not to chuckle as I what you claim and say.  You're going to expose me for my advice that is ill informed and you clearly state "They PROBABLY offer a very good service......" meaning that you do not have first hand knowledge at all.  Now who is ill informed????  Everyone's risk tolerance is different as both Brandon Turner and Josh Dorkin have said not to mention countless others.  So for those of us who have low risk tolerance, we choose to implement asset protection and use any tax advantages that those measures of asset protection advise.  Tell you what, you continue to bash asset protection and then come after me for being ill informed "say it ain't so - the mortal wound of Jerry W coming after me" and I'll continue to research and share what I find out without appearing to solicit any specific firm.  In the end, the community can actually decide for themselves if they even want the protection or to what level they want to implement protection that does come with some tax benefits.  Again, I've never met someone so threatened by information.

Oh, I'm going to be exposed by Jerry W.  I'll try not to lose sleep tonight because the great Jerry W contradicts information that Robert Kiyosaki clearly advocates and endorses. 

I've done nothing more than provide information. When you literally state that a service is "probably more" than what people can afford, that is literally speculation and that is what I said, that is not bashing. I've literally said that I'm providing information so that others can assess for themselves what they want/need as I spoke about not only the service but the firm in question. If you think that me providing this information and the reason why I'm providing this information is insulting to you, then it's your fault for giving my that kind of power. Yes, I have an LLC that I haven't done anything in yet. If you're looking to try to insult me, you're going to have to dig deeper than that AND that is not what I'd expect from a seasoned investor or moderator. I'm not sure if you realize this or not, but in the podcasts that I've listened to so far have specifically referenced books by Robert Kiyosaki. Hmmm. Page 245 from his "Guide to Investing" says:

"If you are serious about doing business, then you do not want to do business as a private citizen.  That is too risky, especially in this day and age of lawsuits."  He goes on to say "If you want to be a rich private citizen, you need to be as poor and penniless as possible on paper.  The poor and the middle class, on the other hand, want to own everything in their name. 'Pride of ownership' they call it.  I call anything with your name on it a 'target for predators and lawyers".  

Now this guy would also laugh at me having a LLC that hasn't been used in Arizona and rightly so. Since I do plan to go back to Arizona and invest, it's not such a bad investment after all, but not that I planned it that well from the start. Since Robert Kiyosaki is a best-selling author and people are saying that his book "Rich Dad Poor Dad" series is their favorite book, I figure that he's not only the one example to follow, but to share his information as well. I'm only disappointed that a seasoned investor such as yourself sees that providing this information from another investor and BEST-SELLING AUTHOR is perceived as being contentious. I see not only his information as valuable, but yours as well. I'll take the nuggets of wisdom from yours, but choose to begin with asset protection. I'm really sorry that this is a sore subject for you. I'll be right back to finish this post.

I read posts by Jerry W where he stated speculation, but no facts.  Given his experience in investing, I was surprised to read him state that asset protection (specifically from Anderson Business) is "probably" more expensive than most people on BP can afford, yet he stated nothing from first hand knowledge, but rather just an assumption.  I hope he doesn't invest based on assumptions as well.  I'll be happy to share his speculation and my research one on one.  When it comes right down to it, if I'm going to take the time to invest, then I'm also going to take the time to protect these same investments.  I'm paying nowhere near the amount that you're asserting that others have paid.  Feel free to get with me one-on-one and I'll be glad to share the first hand information that I received so can assess this for yourself.  My investment company is my baby that I'm building from the ground up, I sure don't want my baby to not be protected from a personal or investment position.  Maybe you can get with me one-on-one and tell me the peoples names of the posts you've read?  

@ Joe Davalos.  Do you know what the name of Danny Johnson's channel is on youtube?

Is this an all day event?  Can you give me the approximate times?  

Michael:  Just wanted to reach out and let you know that I'm in the same boat.  I've made a mistake of thinking that whatever might work in California won't apply to me in Missouri, but I'm learning from that mistake.  Maybe we can learn from each other.  @ Rapture Barba - maybe I could get in touch with you guy as well.  Though I'm located in Missouri, I do plan to expand my market to North Carolina.  I'm not familiar with the market there, but I was stationed in Camp Lejeune, North Carolina 4 different times during my 15 1/2 years in the Marines.  I'm looking to get back into a military town not only for investment purposes, but to reconnect with the military community.

Sounds like a really nice deal.  Let us know how it turns out.

Ok.  Thank you for letting me know and I'm sorry to hear about your experience with Irma.  I hope friends and family are all ok.  No inconvenience at all.

Are there any investors or newbies located in or around the Cape Girardeau, Missouri area?  I'm about 2 hours south of St. Louis.  I plan to attend seminars and do networking in St. Louis, but am looking for some like minds to connect with between here and St. Louis.  Thanks.
