Should I buy Tax Liens Certificates under my name?

[Alvaro Diego Sequeira]

Hello everyone, I started a few months ago to do research on Tax Lien and Tax Deed investing.

I think this is a dumb question, but does the owner know your name if you don't buy them through a LLC?

I must not be the first one that is concerned about personal safety.

Thank you!

The overwhelming majority of tax liens are ultimately redeemed, so buying in your name in search of anonymity down the road shouldn't be an issue. If you do ultimately foreclose on the property then you could transfer the deed to your LLC at that point.
