I understand land trusts provide anonymity but not asset protection (but anonymity is always a great deterrent).2.

My wife and I were thinking that moving forward we would like to have more anonymity and personal protection.

Since you are using leverage, the LLC doesn’t really offer much additional protection besides a layer of anonymity (that is pretty easy to get around).

Ensure to verify this verbiage limiting your liability is in your PPM prior to signing/funding.Investing out of your own LLC into a syndication LLC, in addition to an additional layer of asset protection, can also provide some anonymity.

It literally takes about 15 minutes and the company appears as the registered agent on all documents so I'm completely anonymous.

Treasury’s goal is to minimize the burden on the real-estate industry while offering up a fuller accounting of property sales that could be used by law enforcement or national-security agencies, according to officials.Shell-company real-estate purchases, while legal, have been used by money launderers because the deal can be made anonymously.

Find a good lawyer that is also a RE Investor to help build the right entity to have anonymity on public records.

There is also the benefit of having an extra layer of anonymity that comes from having the LLC own your properties.

I wanted to discuss it with an attorney because I have heard of going through Wyoming for anonymity but I have also heard that it does not always work.

I guess most WY LLC owners would prefer anonymity.
