While I do not have a huge portfolio (and consider myself to be fairly inexperienced in the gran scheme), I do hold 6 properties. 

some people are paranoid  and use all sorts of vesting schemes to keep people to know what they own.. so I don't see this as a red flag.. check tax records and see who really owns it.. he may just be a wholesaler as well you never know.Kind of reminds me of my buddies who fly commericaly and when they have a beer at the bar and someone ask what they do its    :  florsheim shoe sales :
