The privacy benefits of a trust are never lost unless you open your mouth and tell someone who is behind the trust.I own about 40 properties personally.

Open your mouth, don't be a stranger.

I'm sure you think everything that comes out of your mouth is truth!

For example, the "archaic" practice of drinking water, of dedicating in a toilet, or consuming food through your mouth vs the South Park measure of.... let's say alternative modes of entry, lol. 

I thought I was being safe as I didn't want to get burnt.Warm, delicious pizza is using bank debt/other people's debt to make wise investments that make sense and have room if things go south (such as a good cashflow that will continue even if rents drop 25%).Scalding hot pizza that burns the roof of your mouth and causes misery for three days is overleveraging on debt where the house of cards could realistically fall with the next refinance or market change.When I began real estate investing I went from lukewarm pizza to warm delicious pizza. 

Ideally no one is drinking hot water, but all you need is to get some in your mouth during a shower.

PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS and buy me out.

This is a reason why you let emotions temper down before opening your mouth or typing on a public forum.

Being relatively new to the business and not having capital to start and "put your money where your mouth is," starting in Bergen county is not a good idea.

Or better yet, go completely off-grid, ie, put your money where your mouth is......
