Linda, yes, the amount of money made relative to other income, the time devoted to the activity, the frequency of dealings and any entity exclusively dealing in notes can all determine if you are investing or if it is a business enterprise.

I know many people use a DBA/LLC name as an agent, I like the idea for privacy.However, what if someone looked up my license number on the state Real Estate website, like California Bureau of Real Estate, will it display my real legal name to the public?

Or as someone else asked: In future, how is money exchanged on the Starship Enterprise?...

Also if your list is less than 2000 people (commercial enterprise rule) than you have some leeway with the courts as well.

@Sam Singh Do a credit freeze with each bureau.  

I've been cussed out twice and been told I was being reported to the better business bureau by one individual. 

It is a credit bureau list which we supply.

My vote is, we blow right by the ever-expanding governmental control of our free enterprise real estate business and use our talents and knowledge learned from our gurus to create cleaner, smarter, other-centered, self-reliant real estate transactions to benefit fellow BP members, our family, friends, neighbors, state and nation.

They get the info from the credit bureau

The "accountability coaches" will give you advice on calls and ask Michael if they don't have the answer but they won't crack the whip if you slack offIt was better when Michael did the q&a calls himself but he has so many enterprises going I understand that isn't possible.
