Anonymity or alias when self managing commercial multi units

I'm about to close on my first residential multi unit building ( buying via LLC). I'm planning on self managing. I've heard about self managing owners creating alias cards or introducing themselves as the "property manager" using a pseudo name for identity protection. I'm guessing this is to protect your privacy in case you have an issue with a tenant? Anyone doing this? If so, why? If you self manage and you don't do this, why wouldn't you?

Jeff, I have heard of plenty of people saying they are the property manager or contractor and not the owner. However, I have never heard of anyone giving a fake name. I personally just say I am the owner on my SFH units and treat it as such. I've never had any issues. Own in LLC, SDIRA, and my personal name.
