I am in Harris County Texas, more specifically the city of Katy,TX where public works, school districts and such are part of the tax bill PLUS additional fraction of a percent directly to the city.The appraisal district has a particular portfolio of properties all assessed at significantly lower than what like property potentially would be valued at.

My intent is to target military people specifically who are a little higher rank, who possess a security clearance, and who are specifically here for a short term lease for school.

As others have said yes you are overthinking this, if the property isn't going to be held in the LLC then it probably isn't worth the cost of the LLC and the tenant could still look you up, if you wanted a little more privacy from public records you could put the property in the name of a trust and get a PO box or other virtual mailbox that the county would send your property tax bill to. 

Feel free to PM me if you don't want to post publicly. 

A friend is providing down payment for hard money, and wants to secure it with a note in 2nd position.

I'm doing my best to secure my portfolio for the years when financing is tougher and my balloon payments become due.Thank you in advance!

National news today is giving us a lesson in framing, teaching us why we should be careful about privacy and how we can be attacked in the public sphere.An example: http://money.cnn.com/2018/04/23/media/sean-hannity-real-estate-hud/index.htmlThis has nothing to do with your views on Sean Hannity personally.

Take a look at any pics these potential tenants may have public to see if they look like they are keeping there current rental clean, well kept.

if she refuses.... security deposit

My scheduling e-mail states the typical qualifications and that I do not accept applications until they've seen the unit, and my application states that the first qualified applicant to pay the security deposit, first month's rent and sign the lease holds the unit.
