@Cameron Porter If you're looking at MLS properties, try focusing on ones that have been listed for 90 days or more, or check out expired listings—those are properties that were listed by agents but didn’t sell.

Ironically its the investors in the layered LLC's who believe they are hidden in the cloaks of secrecy and better protected who end up in  the most costly and drawn out litigation while giving the plaintiff attorneys reason to take a more thorough look under the hood.Keep your LLC ownership simple, carry appropriate insurance, make sure ever vendor you work with carries appropriate insurance and those who perform work functions most likely to lead to liability exposure list you ad additional insured (not merely certificate holder) and it should go without saying, avoid negligent conduct.

CA's Secretary of State forms list the name and address of either a manager or member, so unless you're hiring a third party to serve as manager of your LLC, anonymity is very hard to achieve once filing publicly in CA.As to the probate part, you're right that going through a court probate is a huge hassle, including being expensive and time consuming. 

Orange County, FL is a covered disaster area listed in the above notice. 

If you want detailed feedback, post a link to the listing on zillow or your local mls so people can see what you are offering. 

Out of all of those listing services, do you have luck with one more than another?

The original deed listed multiple owners and percentages including her 8% interest, and now myself and the other owners want to sell the property---how do we get this retitled into my account (or my name) in order to facilitate the sale?

Hello @Lorraine Hadden,I’ve represented several sellers who were previously listed FSBO. 

And if you still are hesitant to get started, and think this mentorship could help, I would have a list of very specific questions ready:If you issue is finding good deals (welcome to RE today), ask what Tom will actually do to get you more deals?
