How to buy Real Estate and remain anonymous? - Hidden Ownership

How to HIDE Ownership of Real Estate in an LLC or Company.


One of the easiest ways to hide your name from public search on property records is to buy property in the name of your Limited Liability Company.  In most states a Limited Liability Company doesn't need to register within that State to own property as long as it isn't conducting business in that State. A New Mexico LLC would be a cheap $50 one time fee alternative to owning your real estate property.  

Your realtor may push you in to buying the property in your name and then transferring it out to your LLC.  The only problem with that is that it shows a paper trail of your original ownership and then a transfer over to the LLC.  Make sure that you point out to your Realtor, that buying the home in your name is a "deal breaker".  

You may run in to problems with your Title Company.  They may have a novice who is looking for ownership proof of the LLC.  In my other article States that hide your identity when forming a company I explained how having a notarized document from the Organizer stating that you are the Managing Member of the LLC is beneficial as you used that person to organize the company.  That organizers name is on the website of the Secretary of States website.  That letter will clear up confusion of LLC ownership with the title company including when you plan on selling the real estate property in the future.

    These days, Property Records have become increasingly common online today. The popularity is largely due to the demand of people to find information by searching public records.

How to Hide LLC Ownership in Florida | Private | Anonymous |

One of the great places to start an LLC is Florida.  Florida just recently made it very clear that your assets can be protected by multi-member LLC's (Limited Liability Companies).  This offers greater protection to you versus having a single member LLC.  A single member LLC is simply an individual hiding behind a business name.  Doesn't sound very safe.  Having two members of an LLC at least makes it sound to your creditor that it is a little more difficult to reach you.  Howe about, if those creditors didn't even know who owns the Florida LLC? For a privacy stand point, Florida isn't very private.  Florida wants you to make public members of an LLC. You can see this by clicking the link to sunbiz.org for forming Florida LLC's   https://efile.sunbiz.org/llc_file.html List the name and address of each manager or representative authorized to manage and control the company. This information is required to open most bank accounts and to obtain workers&#

States that hide LLC Ownership Information from Public Search

So you want to start your Limited Liability Company but you don't want your name listed publicly. People ask "what are you hiding", "why don't you want people to see who owns the company", "are you doing something illegal"?  My answer is, I'm not hiding anything, I simply do not want my name publicly posted on the secretary of states website. My company membership information is my business and not everyone else's. There was a point in time when people didn't discuss what they own, how much money they have and what business they are involved in. We used to be a society of private people. I do not want my name on my company records for safety reasons, and I do not want to get sued personally.  Getting sued There is this false perception that you are exempt from creditors and lawyers if you own an LLC. Wrong!  If your name is on the Secretary of State website they are coming after you. Creditors, lawyers and anybody who sues ha

How to Hide Your Identity in States Where You MUST Post Members and Managers Names and Addresses.

If my State requires that I put down Members and Managers, how can I remain anonymous? If my Private State LLC wants to operate in a State as a foreign entity, how do I remain anonymous? This can be done with a few extra steps.  So I bought some rental properties in the name of my LLC because I do not want my name on the deed nor do I want former tenants showing up at my current residence for safety reasons.  I also do not want to get sued.  I had only one problem, I now have to start an LLC in a State where I have to put down Managers and Members. When forming an LLC in one of those nosy, public, everybody deserve to know who you are and at one point become envious of what you own, you simply create 1 or 2 LLC's in a State that is private.  For example New Mexico charges a one time $50 fee to form an LLC and you never have to renew in New Mexico.  So for $50-$100 You can be the private owner of 1-2 LLC's in New Mexico and then add those LLC's as the Managing Mem
