Hi all,
I asked as part of another post why so much privacy when it comes to disclosing locations of forumites' IPs and the response was, lets say, less than enthusiastic.
So i decided to create a new thread and ask again and see if there are any forumites that are willing to answer the following question:
What are the pros & cons of not disclosing the locations of IPs on this or any forum ?
I can offer my own thoughts (but im relatively new at this game)
Pro:By publicising as much as possible the locations of IPs you can create additional demand in the area your IPs are located and therefore increase the price in the area. (even at a minimum, a negligible amount is something)
Con: As previously posted by bribie,If you are looking to purchase properties you might like to keep queit as you dont want additional competition. But surely not everyone is looking in the same price range, in the same area with the same investing strategy so that would exlude a lot if not all the competition.
