I value my privacy, so was considering a second LLC layer using Wyoming, but that's a lot of PITA and $ for peace of mind, and would that even be effective? 

Parents bought it so they could have back yard privacy.

The house is in a HOA community and privacy is an issue for me as houses are very close.

And the counties take privacy more seriously than some other places.

A land trust provides privacy of ownership, ease of management, isolation of liabilities, and easier transferability of ownership.

There is a glimpse of a privacy fence in one pic.

The courthouses hold a strict privacy policy.

If you plan to say that it offers more privacy, better liability protection, and the ability to hide from creditors/lawsuites, please include the facts that back this up.

I'm sure there are many good resources here at Bigger Pockets.Stick by your new rule in your title to never take in strays, and find other ways to be giving and loving that won't compromise your safety, privacy and financial security.Hugs,Karen

There are additional tax benefits compared to an IRA, and there is generally greater privacy.
