Could be their parents or other family  members.

So i can fix it up/ rent a room out to a buddy/family member for one year.

I did all of mine several months ago as they are single member LLC;s and I already have to go through fingerprinting, background checks for my NMLS license as well as audited financials for our fund.

Our founding members being in the industry for so many years helps.

Quote from @Nick Am: I own a rental property through a single member LLC (say LLC-A) and I am in process of purchasing another property under the same LLC-A.

For those that have yet to do this, it takes less than 10 minutes if you are a single member llc - just make sure to have a copy of some sort of identification. we did all of ours .. and our attorney contacted us as well and let us know to get them done or he would do them for us. 

However, this information is beneficial to the rest of the BiggerPockets members. 

Lo and behold, many of said states will require the foreign entity to disclose owners/members and such, negating your desire for secrecy. 

It might be best to hold off until you hear of other BP members who have experience with them. 

If you can’t search with the search tool by member “category: that would be another miss.
