You could work with a local attorney to use land or personal property trusts under the umbrella of the plan to create some anonymity.

From an asset protection and anonymity perspective , LLC are helpful but sometimes trusts can be more effective.

Two major benefits that are often overlooked by investors I speak to on a regular basis that LLCs provide that an umbrella insurance policy cannot are:  (1) anonymity, and (2) ease of transfer upon your death.

Eventually, with an extra layer of anonymity through land trusts (at the top between you and the LLCs and at the bottom between assets and holding entity).Here is a diagram to help you:And in your case, with partners, I would have each one form an LLC and have the LLC partner - that way problems coming from one of the partners is not jeopardizing all the other partners and assets.I can send you my notes on the whole asset protection question (dealing with structures, transfer, insurance, DOS, etc.).

Since these disclosures are private, and not part of the public record, it does not violate the anonymity you’re seeking.Please feel free to connect with me if you’d like to know more.

The fifth pillar is owning everything anonymously.

When combined with an anonymous land trust, this form of asset protection can provide both limited liability for your properties and anonymity in all of your purchases. 

Which is better for: tax purposes, having multiple properties, out of state properties, partnerships, anonymity, ect..?

It does create a touch more anonymity because someone can't just search on a county assessor site and look up every single property you own in one go.
