You can set up many layers of LLCs, but if you disclose properly, and observe corporate formalities you basic LLC will provide protection even if the deals go south and loses a lot of money.If you try selling old railroad bonds that were supposedly backed by gold for large amounts of money (even though they are worthless), it doesn't matter how many layers of companies you have, a few depositions will sort it all out, or leave you in jail for contempt if you do not answer the questions.

The dishwasher is Whirlpool's "Gold" line, which is good, it is their higher-level line, but be aware that there is a noticeable difference between their standard stainless steel finish and what they call "monochromatic stainless steel" on the Gold appliances.  

As you know the difference between 2nd and first place is often very small, but only first place gets the gold medal. 2nd place trained as hard, ran almost as fast and gave it as much effort, but was still only 2nd place.

I'm not leaving this home except in a pine box or better yet, a 24 caret gold urn !

This is the kind of empirical "gold" I am talking about!

Sounds like you hit a gold mine. 

Hey @Mark Douglas, learned something worth gold in one of the podcasts, I forget what it is now.

Making mailings is one way to find good deals, but the return on a mailing is very low and expensive.Doing a mailing campaign is a passive way to market for deals - If you want to accelerate your potential to make money in this business, I would suggest using active marketing ---Farming - looking for vacant, ugly houses - tracking down the sellers - make an offerSit in your local rent and housing court - no body wants to be there - great place to find burned out landlords who will be glad to discount their property to youExpired listing - these are sellers who have a property that did not sell - you can make their dream of selling a realality and profit at the same timeRather than licking stamps, designing silly yellow letters or post cards, stuffing envelops, buying postage, running to the post office or sitting home waiting for the phone to ring -- you'd be lot more successful by entering your market and doing peo-active marketing for the gold nuggets you are seeking.

As soon as I finish selling my Rentals, I am going to do a study to see if I can Daytrade them as easily as the SPY or Oil or Gold.

I have heard of a coin backed by 1 gram of gold and that is around $250 but the gold is maybe worth $50.
