@Taylor DaschYou can buy the property in your own name if it's outside the so-called restricted zone.

If you want to be completely anonymous, you can use a Registered Agent.

You can learn to do this independently or get a rockstar REALTOR to lead the way.

@Brett Coultas if you're a newbie, you want to be careful of an "investor friendly" agent selling you something they truly don't understand:(95+% of agents only know how to handle owner-occupied transactions - you can verify this by asking them calculate ROI for you or Cash-On-Cash!

Agent: Their experience with investing personally and their experience working with customers just like you.

The key is getting (I mean the most important part) a good agent or boots on the ground. 

* What is the best strategy for first-time investors: Own or Arbitrage?

That includes real estate agent, mortgage broker, title company/attorney etc.
