I'm thinking about opening an LLC in Nevada or Wyoming, for asset protection.

A newly formed LLC won't have any credit history, so won't be able to get a loan.The LLC gives you asset protection.

They "sell" you a protected county (the counties I asked about were not available - at least they don't flood the area, good sign), and then give you first crack at all the new listings.You then blast email your group of investors (a combination of names provided by Rehablist and names you get on your own).

We negotiate all kinds of conditions that protect the investor.

All those junior lienors have a redemption period where they can buy the property from the previous winner to protect their interest.

That is not normally why people use a DBA.Get a copy of Wealth Protection by William Bronchick.

What helps to make the deal sweet is the Public Service Electric Power Plant is in this town and they do a huge amount of contract work and need housing.

I started my career in 1996 in public accounting and worked for two of the Big Four and a large local firm.

You don't need the owner's permission to search the public records about the property.

(BOMA adds public space to the rental sq ft, so if you have a 25x25 apartment, while it would be 625 sq ft, BOMA might call it 700 sq ft to account for hallways, etc).
