I gave a presentation to members of Invest Club for Women (half of whom are now men!) on Stockpiling Secret $$ with Land Trusts. We had fun and discussed investing with privacy, and using the trust in several ways to acquire property. It was held at iris and Bobbi's newest rehab house. Beautiful job!

Can you use a land trust-like trust for buying and holding or selling cash notes? Why not. But don't just use a land trust. That won't work. You need a trust specifically designed for notes or income stream investments.

Enlightened Wealth Institute It's no wonder that Texas real estate is doing well. While CA, NY, NJ and MA all lost jobs, TX added jobs (4,000 in Sept. alone). Last year TX added 153,000 jobs. WSJ today says Texas is the "new California"-- a mecca for high tech, venture capital aeronautic, health care and industrial. If you're a RE investor, take serious note.

Enlightened Wealth Institute In the Sept./Oct. issue of San Diego Lawyer, an article called "The Tangled Web of Social Networking" (p. 22) makes some critical points about lawyers using social media. It says this may lead to loss of confidentiality and unwitting attorney-client relationships. See what I put in the Information box on this page to make that clear here. Good article on lawyers and judges using social media.
