Our strategy is to have the CA C-Corp parent a WY anonymous LLC which would then parent all of the other state LLC's that we use for Flips and Buy/Hold RE. 

What are the best steps when one is ready to buy a property to preserve anonymity, keep personal and investment assets separate while also setting it up correctly for a long term hold?

Right around closing they create a land trust and transfers title to the land trust, while also creating a new Ohio LLC and setting the LLC as the beneficiary ( having due diligence to set the trustor as an anonymous figure) .

Long-term hold LOs and SLOs principals stay in natural persons name, acting above board, sans 'sophistication'.Lender's and title don't like anonymity, what they don't understand or lots of moving parts plain and simple. 

Real estate investment trusts are being sold these days as a vehicle to anonymity.

The passive aggressive in me says call the cops on the illegal activity and maybe drop a anonymous email/phone call to her employer about the illegal activities who knows maybe she will get a drug test to fail.

This allows us to own the property but keep our name and the sale price out of the public record.We then have the LLC own 100% of the beneficial interest in the trust.This way we get the anonymity of the trust but the liability protection from the LLC.Hope that helps!

My main question is with anonymity within the lease.

I also think it’s a great idea to have a PM manage the units and you remain anonymous.

@Turner Wright Hey Turner, you can request from the county to hide your name or LLC to “Current Owner”.I guess you could make the assumption that if you’re willing to go through the trouble of mailing or faxing in a form to keep yourself anonymous they’d probably not respond to cold marketing.
