Another layer of protection and anonymity.  

I think I'm addicted too, Jimmy.Maybe we need to start a BP Anonymous?

Basically an anonymous poster is claiming he was paid 70% over spot because SLV could not deliver.

Insurance, equity involved, cost, complexity, anonymity, location, etc should also be considered in developing an asset protection plan.  

Also, if you're going to do bandit signs, it helps to put a website on there, because people are more comfortable anonymously going to a website to get more information than calling a number and potentially getting "hard sold".

The risk here is that you are buying from a semi-anonymous seller, so there is no trust and no relationship to fall back on if problems arise after the purchase. 

I'm thinking of using Gmail and Google Voice for the 5 unit building we're in the process of purchasing (offer has been accepted, we have financing) to keep some level of anonymity, but would like to know what everyone else's thoughts/opinions are on this?

A layer of anonymity between my family and the tenants.This is not about hiding my identity, I realize that anyone can look at the public property records.

If the identity of the poster is known (many places allow anonymous posting or “fake” accounts) the individual can be held accountable, but the site on which the post was made is not a party in the process.

Rich and famous is for suckers ... much better IMO to be rich and anonymous.
