Quote from @Caroline Gerardo: Walking the line of fraud isn't a good plan and with the seller as trustee if they file BK, divorce, have a judgement it sticks on the property.Oh man, if you say "fraud" one more time in the mirror it might appear! 

The cost associated with true anonymity is far more than the benefit you receive (or the need in 99.9% of cases).

Reopening this thread, I’ve taken the plunge on a single family home just outside of Pine Plains, technically is Gallatin Twnshp, Columbia County.

this is helpful.

I would focus on systemizing property management as much as possible so adding more units becomes easier over time.If your goal is to buy one property a year, then stick to your pace.

I have made do for the last 15 years with spreadsheets, MINT, and this past year, Simplifi. 

For example, adding little things like a pack-n-play, high chair, and coloring books can attract more families, or a dedicated workstation can help snag business travelers to fill in during the week. 

Plus, they can give you the lowdown on the whole process and help you every step of the way.You've got this!

I need help financing this deal.
