Nevada LLC and anonymity ?

[Manas M.]

Hi All,

I have been researching a holding structure for my rentals for past few weeks. Primary reasons are of course, asset protection and anonymity (to the extent possible).

I talked with folks at a Nevada company and they recommend forming an LLC in Nevada and registering in the states where the property are located. The reason cited is strong Nevada laws which help protect owners privacy.

My question is since the LLC is also registered in other states, doesn't that leave the door wide open for anyone interested to get the owners information from those states?

I understand Nevada LLC can be beneficial for other reasons but the privacy argument doesn't seem to hold to me.

Thanks
