Have a look at BP's blog where new articles are published every day: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog 4.

Techie stuff, travel locations, and e-book publishing are some that come to mind quickly.

I used to use a "Note Payable" other liability to pay out JV partners but I've found that I can just do it straight from the "other asset" NPN.For performing notes, I was advised to use Income and Expense accounts but the only ones we had recently we flipped after a few months so I stuck with the above formula.

When the leads are published in the newspaper here, it lists the name of the executor and their address.

They're published by BP and available here.And of course, there's Brandon Turner's blog post on the subject of books:http://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2013/04/14/best-real-estate-books/Happy reading!

Usually any lender would require anyone making a note to execute the security agreement as well, so if there were other parties, co-borrowers or guarantors their names will also appear in the security assignment....so I see no issue of secrecy or privacy except that filing a note publishes all the terms and conditions.
