I am old fashioned and keep a log book in the vehicle.

They should be able to provide competent guidance as to choice of business vehicle (i.e., where to organize and in what form).An LLC is a limited liability corporation and an LLP is a limited liability partnership.

I'm interested in investing in long term buy and hold 2-4 unit properties and my goals are to 1.) have a better investment vehicle than a stock index and 2.) have enough passive income in ten years to retire if I wanted to (although I doubt I will actually want to retire). 

As investment vehicles, the self-directed IRA and Solo 401(k) are largely similar, providing considerable flexibility and control. 

Originally posted by @Nikhil Nirmel:I just wanted to mention that my new home equity crowdfunding startup will use DSTs as investment vehicles that each effectively purchase units of individual properties' equities.

A DST is not necessarily the right vehicle to use for asset protection and anonymity - it is the right vehicle to use in lieu of a 1031 exchange for certain tax advantages.

I would also state that anything left behind when they do show up for their scheduled move out, will be thrown away, so they need to ensure they bring help and a large enough moving vehicle to take their stuff. 

@Nicholas PatrickYou would ABSOLUTELY need two different vehicles.  

The van has been somewhat consistent but is more of a niche vehicle.  

A PRIMARY VEHICLE OF FRAUD IS USING HIGH-PROFILE SITES, NAMES, ETC TO CREATE A SENSE OF LEGITIMACY.
