Tim, I don't think you'll achieve anonymity just by creating an LLC.

@Georges ArnaoutEquity = LLC.No Equity =  keep Private ownership.I've heard Buyers will purchase a property in their own names for favorable financing then transfer ownership to an LLC for anonymity and protection from frivolous lawsuits.

I was listening to another attorney here in Chicago, who specializes in landlord/tenant law, talking about how often landlords want to remain anonymous, or appear as "managers" to their tenants - he didn't get it at all!

@J Scott & @Todd Whiddon & Anonymous,Amazing!

Trust provides anonymity (providing you close on your properties in the name of the trust) and the LLC provides liability protection.

The only reason the seller's daughter even knew of my company was because she got an "anonymous" contact that told her that her house was on a website she's never even heard of called Biggerpockets.

If you combine that with a Land Trust you have the maximum protection from liability with anonymity. 

It's good for anonymity, but there's no liability protection. 

Email and text is too anonymous, plus you can tell a whole lot more about a person by speaking to them.
