You should consult an attorney or CPA for your specific situation.ANONYMITY: When you create the LLC, your name is recorded on the documents and published on the Secretary of State's website for all to see.

I'm looking at recommendations on what to do here specific to this area.

Costs can be on the lower end if you use more standardized templates, while custom documents tailored to specific deals tend to fall on the higher end.Location can also play a role, with attorneys in larger cities often charging more.

One last thing, you can join a group on Facebook, specifically for wholesalers (legal) and promote your business.

Just to support a previous comment, please run your own numbers for your ROI, CoC, or whatever other metric you are aiming for.specially if they tell you they will guarantee any specific return (read the fine print, this wont happen if they have no money to pay you). 

You will have more specific questions when you start.

Have you decided on the specific market you want to invest in?

You need to work with someone who can help you according to your specific circumstances and resources.
