Promoting professionalism vs anonymity

[Joseph Niedermeyer]

As we become professional real estate investors we promote ourselves publicly as being professional real estate investors. But how do you balance that with risk exposure? As I understand it, LLCs can help with anonymity and legal risk exposure. But if you are covering your tracks to limit your risk, how do you also promote yourself as an active investor? It feels counterintuitive.

LLC encapsulates your assets it doesn't provide much anonymity. A combination of trusts and LLCs etc do both. People can spot real estate investors pretty easily within a few minutes with a few questions. It's like judging science fair projects-a few questions and you can tell if the kid or parent did the project. 😀
