If you're serious about this, you should definitely consult an attorney.I am not one, but here are some things I've learned from playing around with these types of things:--Trusts are excellent vehicles for anonymity--You can hire a professional fiduciary (like an attorney) to act as trustee so the public contact is not easily affiliated with you.

I love that you rented two of your bedrooms as mid term and short term rentals and made enough to pay for the mortgage and now you are going to use the rental income to show you can qualify for another property.This is an excellent strategy and one more people should consider doing in this inflationary environment to offset the biggest cost in their budget--housing.As you rightly point out, you can use this strategy with every house you buy accumulating a portfolio of houses that you originally started out living in as a primary residence every two years.Well done and more people should consider doing the same, or rent their garage, or shed, or a boat, or an extra car.Love it!

If you are looking for someone to teach you syndication, a common thread is to start a thought leadership platform: podcast, post on LinkedIn, post on BP, create YouTube content.I would say, if you have almost no understanding of what Cap rates are, the basics of underwriting and excel modeling, how to find brokers, etc a mentor can help accelerate your learning.
