Can't use trademarked logos or names or phrases like Realtor or imply a brokerage or any insured lender, use of "capital funds" would not be good or give the appearance of any regulated profession.

Oh sure, I wouldn't steal the "We buy ugly houses" slogan, I'm sure they have it trademarked or copyrighted or whatever applies there.

Not worth it in my book.However I've heard stories of rehabbers having a "trademark" feature on all the houses they do and can be recognizable from someone passing by the house.

I'd love to get some awesome shirts designed to share with/sell to the community.That said, @Will Porter , as Account Closed suggested, we certainly would have an issue with the use of our Trademark/Copyright without permission.

Realtor.com is the public face of the National Association of Realtors and owns the trademark "Realtor".

@Stephen Cole   Since the people that own all of the related trademarks read these forums I would not suggest using anything that might be... 

Hi @Lecia Montague,I believe I am not breaking anyone's trademarks, copyrights, or internal use only notifications, by posting the below because it makes no mention of any specific institution.

. $40K to gain access to their "franchisee" training, materials and limited rights to use their name and trademarks in promotional items and such in your investing business.

At the end of the day, holding in some type of entity is the way to go...it just makes more sense.If you create an LLC, you should be able to specify how long it will last...I put something like 2000 years...just in case :) But the LLC can be useful for lots of things, and your holdings can ebb and flow through them...a good strategy is to buy through a holding company and then hold each property in an LLC...LLC's are great...I use a main one to do things like register trade marks.

Hmmmmm I wonder if I should have trademarked that name .
