—Anonymous

yep the beauty of anonymous transactions!

Trust is on public record and the LLC remains anonymous.

From a fellow BP addict who has attended BPA numerous times (bigger pockets anonymous) and failed to quit, congrats on reaching 500 posts.

The relative anonymity of internet posts lets people just shoot off their mouths via their typing skills - I always wonder if the same exact words would be verbally spoken if a real person was standing right in front of their face.

I can get away with working 20 hours a week and I basically set my own schedule with total anonymity.

Absolutely set up in the state you're doing business.I would ask why do you want an LLC, asset protection, anonymity, tax purposes?

And as a corollary to that last question, is it ever a good idea to open a channel of communication directly with your tenant, or should you stay anonymous and let the PM be a buffer between you and them?

Seems like you shouldn't design your entire business communication system around the idea of being ANONYMOUS.

Found this on a website , don't know if that helps.But have a few qns - if you have a mortgage, deed of trust or mortgage that's filed against the property will remove any anonymity that one seeks.Also don't know if mortgage companies would allow a land trust to hold the title.More informed folks here would know.Edit: duh found this link below, which might answer my own qnhttp://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/51/topics/71021-land-trust-and-mortgage
