While this does tend to make things a bit more complicated, the land trust can also function to provide you anonymity - so on top of avoiding potential fees you are also introducing an obstacle for anyone looking to sue you.This can all get pretty complex.

I've only browsed anonymously for a couple months and yet I've feel like I've learned years worth of knowledge, and the best part is, there still A LOT more I have to learn. 

Plenty of hyper-anonymous nickel a day financial bloggers out there recommending credit card cattle travel hacks with creepy Ewok profile pics and no name already.

As a professional I have formed in many state, but I don't see any advantage to not filing in Texas with an anonymous Trust listed as the owner.

I gathered all my notes in a 50+ pages document touching on formation and maintenance of LLC and business structures, transferring assets, protection strategies, trusts, anonymity, insurance, levels of protection, etc. including when you should do it, how many properties per LLC, due on sale clause, selecting an attorney, fees, checklists and resource materials + some diagrams to help you in decisional flow.Doc: https://www.biggerpockets.com/files/user/CosIorg/file/tritoriam-fileAsset Protection Decision Diagram - to help assess the need for asset protection, and what to implement : https://www.biggerpockets.com/files/user/CosIorg/file/asset-protection-decision-diagramAsset Protection Onion Diagram - what, when and at what cost one should implement in terms of asset protection - https://www.biggerpockets.com/files/user/CosIorg/file/asset-protection-onion-diagram-v2What is needed for a complete asset protection OR the domains that need to be intersected to find asset protection

I found out after the fact that the flipping company did not pull any permits, nor did they rezone the property into multifamily.I called the city (anonymously) and danced around the questions.  

I have an ad running on CL using their anonymous email reply system and after receiving multiple emails from the same interested people (seemingly ignoring my responses) I realized that my responses back to them aren't going through.

And you MIGHT be able to talk a PM into showing you an anonymous "2016 actual" for what they deem a similar property.

Very anonymous, but can be a little imposing (if parked properly).The number of comments it gets from contractors is quite amazing, and the number of times a contractor has verbally mentioned the truck and then reduced a quote because of it is also quite amazing.

It can help to isolate your other properties or investments from being brought into the suit; but, that is only if you follow all the strict "arms length rules, IRS rules, state, and local rules, and on and on.  2nd a standard LLC does not provide anonymity.
