Any agreement between you and your business partner would be a separate agreement from forming an LLC. Sounds like you and your partner need to hire an attorney to draft the agreement. Having an attorney draft and file your LLC would cost about $1,200. As a previous poster mentioned, doing it yourself would be cheaper.  If you're looking to buy your first property, a LLC is likely unnecessary. In any event, good luck!

@Alexandro McQuillan I have created LLC in Wyoming for $150, very easy and fast. 0 tax rate in Wyoming. A lot of people also like incorporating in Wyoming for this reason, because Wyoming doesn’t track who owns the company, just the directors. So CA can’t get WY to tell them who owns these Wyoming companies, because Wyoming itself doesn’t know, and frankly doesn’t care.Your only cost would be the annual report and a registered agent fee in that state. Wyoming for instance has no corporate income tax, but the annual report is $50.

Yes, minimum $800 tax fee is payable every year.

@Renata Cerveny Do you have a specific question about the formation or do you need someone to take care of the entire formation process? Either way, I'm sure I can help you. Feel free to reach out.

@Renata Cerveny  I was wondering if the LLC you are forming is in California or if it's in another state.  I'm in the process of purchasing a property in Indiana and forming an LLC in Indiana, however it's my understanding that I also need to file the LLC with the California Tax Board.  @Drake Dalton do you have any advice on structuring an LLC out of state while paying minimum taxes in California? My partner is a family member that resides in Indiana and can take full advantage of the low taxes in the Mid-West. Thanks in advance for you input!
