They are sold off-market, often because the seller wants a quick sale, the property is distressed, or for privacy reasons.

Another option is to buy a house, divide it into separate units, and keep one for yourself while renting out the others for more privacy.

I did switch to one of those (not going to say publicly for privacy & security).Uploading data or settings from Mint is going to be a very tall order.
