All states have the same inside protection, however the outside protection varies greatly.If some of properties are in states that do not offer good outside protection (ie charging order not being the sole remedy), you will then create a holding LLC in a state that has this great outside protection; This LLC will then own all the sub LLCs.Another aspect also is that some states offer anonymity adding another layer of protection.

@Scott Kays Another advantage of using land trusts - they give you a layer of anonymity (not liability protection) that works great with the LLC (which gives you the liability protection), and keeps your name out of the public records (supposedly, you still have to be careful, e.g. with the title mistakenly recording the trust documents too).As I mentioned, be careful when choosing to use a Quit Claim Deed - to maintain your title chain, you have to do it through a more expensive Warranty Deed (which might be another reason to use land trust, just check how they work together):A person receiving a purported real estate interest via a quitclaim deed may receive no legal right to the property whatsoever.

Early Shares said they are planning one, and I also had one tell me anonymously they have filed for this.

Now it seems  swamped with commercial-minded property owners seeking to cash in on their dull, anonymous real estate investments.

But the purpose remains the same, the LLC is for asset protection and the trusts are for privacy or anonymity.

Jane Doe / L Y,Anonymous posts for or against any company hardly garner any credibility.

Having it first also gives you more anonymity.  

One overriding theme is how critical anonymity is.

The title trail will go from you to your LLC so you're not even anonymous.
