We gift our time to Bigger Pockets because we enjoy it and because we generate contacts here for real business.

I just had to chime in and say that I've really been enjoying this thread.

i don't want to take this off topic, but you can definitely hide ownership...an llc with a registered agent other than yourself is a simple way...of course, there are more complicated ways as well..i really do recommend the book "how to be invisible"...i'm halfway through it, and really enjoying it, although some of his ideas are sorta radical and out there

Those kiddy pools purchased at wally world are fine imo, as they should be required to fill-use-enjoy-then empty.

This is how it is in India also where I am from and that is one reason for the housing supply shortages and increase in price.Also  wanted to say that I really do enjoy yours posts and learn something from them.

Enjoy reading the many "how-to" conversations in the Forum.

Great advise Michael, I always enjoy listening to podcasts as well.

However, if the LLC is properly set up and maintained you will still enjoy the liability protection that it offers.

We considered making it our retirement home, but the town is too small for us to enjoy long-term: we prefer larger cities with a more diverse population.

I'm actually new to Biggerpockets myself but I enjoy providing mentorship and investment opportunities!
