I wanted to be a little more anonymous so I can have a 'bad guy' when the answer is no and to have the legitimacy of a company card when I ask for holding monies and stuff.I also wanted to keep track of receipts once- to consolidate all mileage and all 1099s, all travel, advertising, etc so I don't have to do it for each property.  

What value do you place on anonymity?

Corporate veil, anonymity, paperwork and paranoia level. 

Nevada does provide anonymity because public filings do not require the names and addresses of owners, so another LLC or business entity can be the member/manager.  

I've read that those can be a money making scheme for lawyers, and don't provide the protection/anonymity you may think they do.Have you done much research?

I've heard revocable trusts are a better option than irrevocable as they are less complicated and offer the desired anonymity?

First of all a trust will provide you with anonymity and then the "Beneficary of the trust will be your LLC which will provide you with asset protection.Remember to always seek legal advise from a professional.Good Investing...

I did it more for anonymity because I live in a small town and don't want people to know what I own.

Your entity will be thrown out of court since it won't be recognized as I am told.STARTING your LLC creation with states such as WY, DE, or perhaps NV is being done for anonymity purposes. 

This is double the average cap that we've been seeing, with a really good CoC return and it checks off the boxes for the 1% rule and 50% rule with cash to spare.We plan on creating a WY holding LLC as partnership for anonymity, and each property having its own LLC as a disregarded entity for tax purposes.Should we plan for anything else or just hope like hell we get accepted?
