ThoughtsFollowing is the article.The Government is warning that New Zealand's fragile economy could be in for trouble with the prospect of property markets crashing in our biggest export markets.Finance Minister Bill English, relaxed and in good humour at a post-Budget gathering of South Island business people yesterday, said the Government was putting New Zealand on a path to greater prosperity but some things were outside its control.He was concerned about the potential for property-market crashes in Australia and China - New Zealand's two biggest export markets."

Everyone has a pet project, everyone has something in their back yard, be it a defence contractor or a failed auto plant that they are trying to protect on the back of the rest of nation.

The most important thing to me is freedom---so I can live out my true passion and purpose of ministering to those in need.I hope to help all of you in any way I can.

If you have a problem with family - take it to a counselor or your minister.

You just think you have rights, and you do, when you are allowed to have them.Arguing this aspect with many of the younger generation, at this time, is like a minister denouncing attitudes of a group at a gay rally!

I am an active minister and ministry volunteer.

Obviously, that will not work for all services - e.g. firefighting, police, defence, etc.Many countries are also moving towards a consumption-based tax instead of an income-based tax.

I'm speculating that they desperately want to do so, but are probably getting pushback from Minister of Finance and the banks, as they likely fear any further tightening could lead to the piercing of the bubble. 

Further, should foreclosure, deed in lieu, etc occur, there is no need to form another entity to hold title, the same series can hold title with the same asset protection benefits.While I’m on my asset protection soapbox I will share that many investors make the mistake of either going in for very expensive, dubious value asset protection strategies (foreign asset protection trust based in Nevis and held in a Lichtenstein Corporation while being based in Bahamas and managed by a trustee related to the former Bahamian Prime Ministers wife’s third cousin) or don’t want the hassle so have no asset protection at all.  

If you own a rental or two and can't sleep worrying about someone suing you then you might look elsewhere than any real estate investment.That said you can add many layers of protection.Individual LLC's for each property help by a master LLC held by a Trust etc to give you layers of protection.Insurance is your first line of defence, an umbrella adds another.Having properties mortgaged makes them uninviting to an attorney that may want to see if you have any assets worth taking.You can consult a Estate planning attorney for guidance on different strategies.If you are risk adverse you might want to look else where to invest your money.
