A nearly identical house literally across the street sold recently for $52,000.

Well, the problem with gold that would help in that situation is transport, storage and security from theft or seizure.BTW, if you really do think we are on the verge of collapse and want to dump your assets ...

I also think it's crazy in this day an age for a consumer not to pay 12.95 a month to have ID theft monitoring set up over at equifax, or similar trusted provider.

Both projects make money but cheap appliances have lower vandalism/theft risk.

Here is what happened after 2 years when I needed to sell.1) The builder had relocated to a subdivision close by and was still manufacturing the same style house and floor plan I had bought2) There were only a total of 3 different types of houses on my street 3) For some reason and I think because the community was not organically grown there were 20 homes on the market, so I was competing with 7 other identical homes.

Identical unit just closed for 250K.

Using an LLC will not mask your identity.

This transaction is identical to the first one with the exception that it started off as part of a 1031 exchange, and because the property that was converted to his/her primary residence was originally acquired as replacement property in a prior 1031 exchange the investor must own it for at least five (5) years before he/she can sell and take advantage of the 121 exclusion.

I guess the report can help verify identity and former addresses.

There are sections of town that experience very little foundation movement even though the climate is identical.
