As for privacy...what are you concerned about?

I guess my question with privacy is should I be concerned with having it? It's so easy to find who owns a business online and it's subsidiaries if any as well as place of business, etc. And I guess that part is concerning to me.

Some states demand to know who has signatory authority even if it is an entity. They want the human's info. I would never tell someone to buy rental property in their own name when LLC's are so cheap. We form anonymous series LLC's in Texas then register that LLC all over the country but we don't use a WY LLC or other anonymous state. Instead, we use a blind trust. Takes about a week or so.

I am in Texas as well...and that is something I would hate to run into if my anonymous out of state LLC owns Texas real estate will Texas make me register as a foreign entity and if so will I need to register my name?

I also did not know that series LLCs were considered anonymous and I know you can form these in Texas, no? Did you have to register as foreign entities in other states because you own property and/or manage that property?

In regards of privacy and taxation what value can a Wyoming LLC holding company provide to a RE business that buys & holds/BRRRR and has an attorney at law conduct Wyoming LLC annual reports for me?

Let's say I have properties in Texas, Georgia, and Alabama and I'm using a property manager for all properties...what issues in regards to privacy and/or taxation would I encounter if/when the property manager sends me the post fee rent income to my business checking accounts? Do I need to register as foreign entities in those states if I don't have a subsidiary LLC to receive the check from the property managers?

I will not be able to purchase properties in cash and will likely start off by taking mortgages out on properties using my name so let's not discuss corporate veils as that's another discussion and intend on holding an umbrella insurance policy. I'm more interested in taxation affects and privacy and I realize I'd need to get the properties deeded to the LLC so that I check off the privacy box in that regard.

Would I in this situation be fully private or am I missing something? And how is this tax reported as a SMLLC federally and locally at the state level? Schedule-K federally and the normal Wyoming filing fee of $50/$52 dollars up to $250k assets + a percentage of $50 every $250k past that?

Thanks!

I've only been on my journey researching for the past month chomping at the bit to get out there and buy a home...however my wife and I signed a purchase agreement back in January on a new house build so I decided to postpone buying my first property until we close on our new home in October/November time frame....

However, the more information I keep digesting, the more I keep thinking why don't I cash-out refi our current property and keep it as my "first property" to rent out? We need a healthy down payment, but luckily with the shift in pricing we appear to have a lot of room between what's left on the current mortgage vs. what the property will most likely appraise for...

The main problem I am trying to tackle in my head right now is if refinancing in July when we close in October/November (and we will need/use conventional financing for that home) really a good idea? I'm just very concerned that might impact our financing for the new home. I maintain anywhere between a 750-790, my wife commands a 800+ and between the both of us we make just under 200k a year at our normal jobs. 

Should I be concerned or should I start the paper work?
