I can only imagine the number of anonymous solicitations you’ve received by now @Camille Johnson, from strangers happy to separate you from your money.

The LLCs would give you greater protection and anonymity and would allow you to do a 1031 exchange in the future and go your separate ways.

This way you have access to the beneficial financing options available in your personal name, the protection of the LLC, have entities that will easily integrate with future estate planning, and you can even introduce anonymity into your asset protection strategy.

@frank chin "anonymity" in legal terms means not exposing the details of the ownership of the LLC.

The article I linked above also discusses anonymity, which becomes more and more important as you grow so people don't chase you with frivolous lawsuits because you look rich.If you have questiosn regarding any of this just ask.

Just one no from an anonymous person can’t be it.

However, you could be the trustee and the beneficiary if you so desired or replace the trustee with someone you trusted and have complete control as well as anonymity.

It would probably be a good idea to call the code enforcement officers anonymously and ask a few questions.

However, I do get conflicting views, opinions and information on what/how I should accomplish my goals around liability protection, tax liability and anonymity.

A Realtor is obligated to present every offer & if they do not, you are able to file an anonymous complaint on the state website for real estate agents, then get a new Realtor...
