I said “may”. I’m thinking maybe the only foolproof way would be to pay all cash so there’s no problems with the lender. Set up a pretty standard grantor trust with a fictitious name, (ABC Trust) and name an attorney or someone else as the trustee for the recording of the purchase, so your name doesn’t show up anywhere on the records. Then after the purchase is recorded, substitute yourself as the trustee. I can’t think of any reason that wouldn’t work.
