They do not provide asset protection or anonymity. 

But it doesn't give you much asset protection or save you on taxes.

If you use an LLC instead as holding entity, would you still need to use the multi member structure to perfect the protection, or a single member LLC would be enough in states that have built in single member charging order protection as sole remedy (not following Olmstead vs FTC)?

If we choose to proceed with the purchase what kind of protection or hold harmless do we need to put in place to make sure we are not liable for any tenant recourse.  3.  

You can buy and sell without doing this, and you can defend against suits, but you would not be able to bring its claims - and an eviction is a law suit.Trusts offer no protection or limit on liabiity, merely makes it harder to determine who the real owners in interest are. 

None of this will give you full protection or anonymity, the point is to mitigate it as best as can.That is a massive amount of properties in one year!!!

Since Trust documents don't need to be filed, they won't know...Are you trying for asset protection or to "hide" from your tenants so they just don't show up on your doorstep? 

Do you have protection?
