When you get a lot of them, then put all LLC's in an anonymous LLC or trust. 

Quote from @Cory Anderson: An LLC is useful for two things: anonymity and legal protection.

IMO liability risk can be handled with an umbrella liability policy, which (again, IMO) all property owners should have anyway.The other upside is anonymity, which is the reason I recently transferred my properties into an LLC.

Many people get fuzzy with the details & can't find photos, etc. over time.This is why I always recommend having insurance and having the right entity structures designed specifically for real estate investors, the state you live in and the state your properties / other businesses are held in layering protection in Series LLC, DST's, Anonymous LLC's or other types of trusts such as a QPRT ( in California, though right now with the tax laws, I don't see them as attractive as they used to be prior to the 2017 (TCJA) Tax changes to the Estate & Gift Tax portion of the Tax Cuts & Jobs Act.  

The privacy/anonymity of the double close is attractive but with us using a lot of our capital on the front end for marketing, we would like to minimize any other costs if possible. 

It will provide you the anonymity you are looking for and it will minimize what a tenant could come back on you for if there were ever an issue.

I called the state, anonymously, to get access to the building codes.

Would it be wise to structure a out of state LLC (Nevada) for anonymity and asset protection?  

CList is FLOODED with lots of random/shady ads where it seems many/most of the listers offering services (ie, painters) only want to be contacted by 'anonymous email'.what i look for is at least a business number, if it is a business offering a product/service!

I'll answer your question in that I am in consumer lending but would prefer anonymity beyond that.
