Tell him to chill out with the anonymous stuff.

It sounds like there isn’t any explicit prohibition against asking a mortgage applicant if they have done forbearance so I bet the overlays will account for it.Reminds me of when MLB did the “anonymous” testing on steroids...nothings ever anonymous and I don’t think this will be helpful to folks in the future, probably not a death sentence but....

First of all you want to avoid as much lawsuits by running your business properly.Second line of defense is to have proper liability insurance for most basic challenges.Then to protect yourself from ambulance chasers working on contingency, you want not to look as a deep pocket target: you can use anonymity in your structures (anonymous LLC, land trusts,...) , and also use some equity stripping by having big mortgage on the property to make them look less worthy.You also want to use some federal or state protection like ERISA retirement plans, life insurance, homestead, etc...Last you want to insulate your assets from each other to limit the risk to only one of them at a time.

@Laura WilliamsCan you anonymously call CPS on him saying you witnessed hard drug use, disturbing behaviour?

While you might not be "anonymous", I certainly think there is an intangible benefit to having an LLC where you can just be the "property manager". 

Do an anonymous call to code enforcement.

We are three partners and follow all the steps to protect the veil and also keep anonymity (one partner is a lawyer).

Trying to incorporate with a hybrid structure that will provide asset protection, but be less anonymous for various reasons.

Hi Brian, it depends on your goals what is "best" filing in those states provides certain benefits but comes with additional costs and complexity.Are you willing to pay $3k for anonymity? 

I would first (anonymously) get in the touch with the city/county and see what it would take fix your situation.
