Hello everyone, I was wondering what your thoughts were regarding a P.O. box for correspondence in investing. Is a strong enough deterrence for motivated sellers,buyers, investors or not?
I use a UPS PO box (at UPS store). The address is the UPS store address plus a Suite number. The suite number (which represents my PO box at the store) looks and acts like a normal address. Yet, it's really a box at the UPS store.

I'd say if you use a PO Box, use street addressing (post office term). This gives your PO Box a street address so it looks like a suite in a building rather than a PO Box. You can find out more about this on the USPS website.
Jerry Puckett what do you think?

I like this very much. This solves issue for me. Thanks
What are your purposes for the PO box? I have some rentals and they all pay electronically so I never get any mail from the rental. The only other thing for me is bank statements and junk mail. My LLC paperwork points that address, but people can easily find your address. I kind of regret having it now and have started listing my address as my home address.
I want to have an address that is not related to my home address. I know it's easy to find out where people live, however I wanted to differentiate the 2.
I was reading the USPS street addressing agreement and it states you cannot use the address for business legal documents. Does UPS allow this feature or no?
Because If you are marketing to sellers a PO box in the address would seem more like a business address IE: junk mail. Also as stated a PO box is not appropriate for a company address. There is no one there who can be served.
I would not vote for a PO Box. However if you have one and decide to use it then use the post office address then box number so it looks like a unit number. Example PO Box 123 bakersfield ca 93312 converted to 3400 Pegasus Blvd #123 bakersfield ca 93312.
I use a PO box but I used to use UPS. With USPS you can now use a street address like UPS so it makes it easier plus it is way cheaper than a UPS and the address layout looks the same ( at least in my area)
Yes, I use my UPS box for my LLC, and it is the registered business address. I receive legal docs all the time, from my company lawyer, closing agents, etc. I also use it as my return address on my direct mail. The address looks like this:
7650 S McClintock Drive STE 103-287, Tempe AZ
Now, don't be sending a bunch of junk mail and stuff! ;-)

What do you use as th registered business address since USPS prohibits this?
Sorry for double post everyone. I am on an android and don't have access to BP App yet.
explained it well however to add... The reason is that we want the letter opened at the highest open rate possible so we stay anonymous and personal on the packaging to build a sense of intrigue for what is inside. It is hard to be personal with a business. We cannot hug AT&T.
If you care to test how intrigue plays on a mind then try the following... This Christmas don't wrap any gifts. Just leave them in the packages and the bag they came in and put them around the tree... See how that goes...
I think the ones that want to remain anonymous have something to hide.
My 2cents,

Obviously you are entitled to your opinion. But, no, per Michael Q "The reason is that we want the letter opened at the highest open rate possible..." The packaging may be 'anonymous' but the message isn't.
If anyone has figured out optimizing the 'open rate', it would be MQ.

I guess I have to agree with that statement. As a landlord, I don't want my tenants knowing where I live or how to mail to my personal residence, so yes,mi have something to hide. In the context of how Joe stated his comment, I agree with Chris completely.
