Transferring the deed around only serves to provide basis for using the LLC as an alter-ego.And, assumedly you want the anonymity from the WY LLC. 

It gave me some anonymity and was part of what I used to get his wise counsel.

The two main reasons I have seen investors go out of their way to form an LLC in another state is either for the state's advantaged LLC laws (example: anonymity in Wyoming,) or access to an entity that is not available in their own state (such as the Series LLC.) 

So, that's where your anonymity and protection begins.The trust should then form an S-Corp.

First off, I made this account to stay anonymous first and foremost.

Another way would be to call them "anonymously" and ask about permit fees.

I chose s-corp for the retirement plans available, anonymity, ease of bookkeeping, tracking  mileage, etc.

The trick is not to be anonymous, the trick is to run your business like a business so they cannot win in court.     

The property was technically purchased from an anonymous trust, but Elite Invest LLC handled all the sales and communications, as well as the rehab.

You see when you offer something that people actually want they are willing to give up their anonymity for it.
