(That’s the basic version of it) There are a few steps to it but it can be very beneficial.

If you did you will have to get the other agent you were working with to mutually agree (in writing) to cancel the relationship.

So true that even if I am not making money outright, saving money could be just as beneficial.

Having my sister and her husband near the properties would be beneficial as well. 

It seems to establish more of a mutually beneficial relationship as opposed to me getting something for nothing in return.

@Chris ReyesIf it were me, I’d deed to a land trust for the anonymity (nominee trustee, since its publicly filed), then assign beneficial interest of land trust to the LLC that you manage (private document).

Would that be beneficial in terms of asset protection strategy?

Yes, always beneficial.

This would be particularly beneficial for someone looking for their first office.

On every offer, addendum or mutually agreed on change, a decent broker would put a "Kill-date" saying when it expires.I am curious though, since I get paperwork sent to me that is poorly written (I learned from having done it before).
