Should I get a virtual mailbox for my non-LLC rentals?

Hi, since I live in California, an LLC is not a viable option for me for my out of state rentals (9 of them, mostly B/C). They are all managed by a property manager. It bothers me however that for my tenants it is so easy to find out who I am and where I live with one simple click on a real estate listing to get the property tax records. I was considering setting up a virtual mailbox (travelingmailbox.com maybe) to at least hide where I live, even though my name would be there. I realize that it would be far from bulletproof, but is it worth $15 a month just to make it a little more difficult to find out who I am (how much my own home is worth, etc.) and dissuade frivolous lawsuits (or creepy tenants).

Thanks!
