My example of a recorded judgment lien not attaching to a trust with trustee other than yourself was a special case of outside liability protection.To get liability protection and anonymity, some attorneys suggest a combination of land trust and entity.In all my years of private lending I have only run across two borrowers that used land trusts, and neither of them were billionaires.

@Courtney Olson I did this for my candle business but it could work for real estateMaybe offer Step Up  Payments too, as long as the number works, and hint at it helping wiht inflation and maybe combined it with an interest rate that is above typical inflation.A combo of something like 4% inflation to keep your same spending power as the years go, and we increase the payment by $25/month every 12 months so your spending power stays the same and you get a bit of a raise every year, then we could do a balloon payment in 10 years to settle the rest.Something like that could be an option. 

With a second cause you sue for delinquent rent, late fees, damage, et al.You can file a first cause alone, a second cause alone, or a combined first and second.My question:  If you plan on filing a second cause (i.e. the deadbeat renter is gone and you have possession), how do you find out where he is to serve him the court summons?

If it's in TN (as opposed to N GA) you property taxes alone will be close to 15% and with the habitational insurance markets going nuts, you're probably almost at 30% combined on those two. 

A combined 92% own under 10 doors.This is City of Milwaukee only, so about 600,000 population out of the 1.6 million for the Milwaukee metro area.

Fees or not, the investor is able to put their money to work in two places at one time and the combined growth is going to be higher than using your own money.
