Time spent quelling anonymous angry masses on social media is time wasted IMOI'd not read anything into the comments you received on FB about rents, nor make any assumptions about the fires and housing shortages/costs.  

I would like to stay anonymous beyond my first name with him.

A few anonymous phone calls could get the yards cleaned up or the occupants cited to court. 

@Blake BroomerWelcome fellow Pennsylvanian.It also depends on what activity that you are doing, flipping, buy and hold, rehabs, wholesale, commercial, development, etc.There are tax implications, as well as liability issues, and anonymity also.The PA Dept of State has an online file that you can check to see if the proposed name is in use.In most cases I'd recommend that the entity name not contain either you first or sur names.In any event, the best advise would be to contact a PA attorney to help decide the type of entity, your planned work and possible other parties involved. 

Somebody ought to start an BP LA (lurkers anonymous) meeting.

You'll be able to meet others who have dealt with these individuals and also sense their integrity and reliability.Stay away from anonymous online lenders, if that's how you found this one, and anyone else making fantastic promises.

It's great for something like what you need, and also great for anonymity and consistency.

Been lurking anonymously for a while now, but wanted to introduce myself and start participating!  

Consumer complaints here are from legitimate people unlike many of the other anonymously posted sites out there. 

The best structure is a Series LLC with anonymity trusts so that you compartmentalize the assets if there is a litigation while hiding your ownership and the company ownership of the underlying asset.
