,When you register your LLC, you have to put a physical address-- and your name,  so if you google the LLC,  the state registry will likely be the first thing to come up.. so don't think the LLC will make you hard to find.   

I think there is a lot of potential in the area given the reasons you've already listed, location (close to the freeway and SF), millennial's rental preference, proximity to public transportation, etc.    

I invest in the city where most tenants are childless or have non-school aged kids - proximity to their job is important. 

Occasionally, but only occasionally, I have found that properties are in the flood zone based on simple proximity to water, BUT when the topo is considered, these properties should NOT be in the Zone. 

Rentals are very strong on Hwy 66 due to high traffic counts and proximity to Rockwall & George Bush Hwy. 

I should have said "close to Being one of the worst neighborhoods" vs simply "Close to"  What I wrote could imply it was not physically close to a bad area.

(seller obviously removed the physical plaque before selling).

Its got some grit to it but the proximity to Philadelphia and other nearby NJ towns is very good.

There will always be people who want to physically hand you an app and app fee. 

I now only purchase properties in close proximity to where I live.
