The fifth pillar is owning everything anonymously.

I've always just held my property in my name and easily discovered LLCs, but on my to-do list now is how to get them into an anonymous ownership entity without upsetting my mortgage companies or insurance company.  

Then, after you purchase the property, you transfer it into a land trust that is owned by an LLC to accomplish anonymity and protection (respectively accomplished by each of those legal tools).

I'm not saying I want anonymity for greed or anything like that...

Or maybe known but not easily trackable and that anonymity is something some of our clients enjoy.

When wholesaling what are some good ways to maintain anonymity while keeping your deal from falling apart?

Single member LLCs are disregarded so I think the anonymity and asset protection is there and the tax shield is passed through as desired.

Is anonymity over rated?

Consult with a qualified professional or two..The main reason for starting out in WY or DE is for the anonymity afforded by those States' policies. 

@Chris Abislaiman creating an LLC for anonymity is kind of pointless if your tenants take 5 minutes to research who owns the LLC.
