Why does the little anonymous posting symbol look like a man in a business suit?

But that's just me.I do like having the validity and anonymity of receiving rent payable to a corp vs myself. 

Most people who called where going through a temporary rough patch in their life (divorce, breakup, layoff, death of a loved one, and so forth) and simply needed an anonymous, non-judgmental ear on the other end of the phone to talk to ("active listening").

@Jared RyanBe mindful that achieving anonymity via LLC's is a bit more complicated. 

Please don't say LinkedIn, Craigslist, or another anonymous place on the web.

Would having the buildings/LLCs in a trust or several trusts (anonymous?)

The point is you want anonymity, which means you want to harder to find, not easier to find.3.

I try to stay as anonymous as possible.I buy foreclosures/distressed properties. 

I'm not familiar with Washington state's property tax laws, but an anonymous call the the local assessment office could give you great insight without pinpointing the actual address.

Finally, with the use of Trusts while establishing these structures you can add a level of anonymity by removing your name from public record - the use of trusts can also allow you the normal financing options that are lost when transferring directly into an LLC.There are levels to the investment game.
