It really hurts when you are spending money to maintain your property and your neighbor looks like they are shooting for growing a jungle.You could always make an anonymous phone call to the HOA, city or township (who ever oversees your neighborhood) and check about the regulations governing property maintenance and then discreetly turn them in.

If you want a legit proof of funds from a legit lender you need to cultivate a relationship with a legit lender and ask them for one.If your proof of funds is some anonymous letter from the net or from someone who is not really your lender it is fraudulent to provide it.

For the purpose of maintaining  anonymity and gaining some liability protection and estate planning advantages, I own my multi's in an LLC and manage them with the S-corp.  

Yes I would approach them with a wad of cash and simultaneously place an anonymous call to the Codes department because of the condition of the house.

Anonymity?

Their big claim to fame is anonymity, and better BK treatment for debtors.

I'm only transitioning into trusts for anonymity so if you search my name on title nothing shows up. 

The main reason that people think about using a trust to hold property is for anonymity.  

You should be very aware that if you transfer property into an LLC that you could trigger the "due on sale " clause and have lender accelerate the loan...another issue to be concerned with is the potential transfer fees possibly levied on mortgage balance depending on your location.I think you should look into purchasing the investment property in a land trust which not only provides anonymity, but also gets around the two issues I mentioned above.

If possible I do it anonymously because I don't want to change their relationship with their firm but fair property manager.
