LLC (Avoid direct connection back to me)

Hi All,

I know several conversation have taken place on the formation of an LLC / Trust for investing in buy and hold properties. Many have stated that you can do this yourself. However, I'm curious to know how you set up the entity structure of your business while maintaining complete anonymity. For example in Maryland, you're required to have a registered agent/address.

1. How do you handle the registered agent question? It seems you can pay for this service, curious on how it is represented on the form?

2. Maryland also requires a physical address (no po box), how can I avoid having to using my personal address


My thought is to set two LLCs owned by a single trust or another LLC in a separate state as the owner of the MD LLCs. However, again I'm faced with dealing with putting a personal address on a form intended to provide anonymity. Any guidance is greatly appreciated.
