> Would you be able to see all the properties someone owns?

Property records are public in most jurisdictions.

You kind of already can, at least in the US. Property ownership is public record and so are the property taxes individuals pay.

that's how it works in my city. If you want, you can incorporate a company and buy the property through that though.

Still traceable though. I had a friend who did that and his name was still got attached to his physical address.

hm, maybe. I can't find my landlord's name attached to the building I owned. But his name is associated with the company which owns it.

My old boss also would buy property through LLCs, so if I looked up his address he would not be associated with it. I was not able to link him to the company because the LLC didn't actually transact any business aside from holding this property. But maybe I just don't know where to look.
