Hold rental properties privately. Isolate liability between units. Keep your name off tenant searches.

One Wyoming anonymous LLC per rental property for portfolios under 3 properties. Wyoming Series LLC once you cross 3 properties — each property goes into its own series under one parent. A Wyoming holding LLC over state-specific operating LLCs is the right shape if your rentals span multiple states.
Tenants, contractors, and opposing parties in disputes routinely search county records and the Secretary of State to identify the owner of a property. An anonymous LLC keeps your name off both the deed (title held by the LLC) and state filings, which reduces nuisance lawsuits and limits negotiation leverage of any disputing party.
Wyoming Series LLC (§ 17-29-1101) is the cleanest US vehicle for landlords. Charging order protection under § 17-29-503(a) shields each property from creditors of other series. No state income tax. Lowest annual cost in the country ($60/yr). Best banking acceptance for landlords.
| State | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Wyoming (one LLC per property) | $397 | $60/yr annual report each. |
| Wyoming Series LLC | $547 | $397 + $150 series add-on. One annual report for the parent. |
| New Mexico | $347 | Cheapest setup. Harder banking. No annual report. |
Yes, via quitclaim deed. Confirm with your title insurer that the transfer won't trigger a due-on-sale clause on the mortgage.
For real liability isolation, yes. The Series LLC structure achieves the same isolation with one parent entity and one annual report.
On the lease, only the LLC name is the landlord. Tenants who run a county property search see the LLC on the deed and Anonymousllc.co as registered agent — never you.
Most residential mortgages have a due-on-sale clause. Transferring a mortgaged property to an LLC may technically trigger it. Most lenders don't enforce it on rentals, but confirm in writing first.
