Hi all,
This might be location specific, so I understand I may get a low response on this.

I'm a little confused about business licenses. Is real estate investment considered a home occupation? What if it's an LLC with a private mail box as its address? As you know, the business would be conducted at my home and various houses and offices all over southern California. It's not so simple as for someone with a home bookkeeping service or handmade jewelry online shop, is it?

We're trying to figure out where to get a private mail box, and if it matters. We're on the border of the county lines, and the three different UPS stores are in three different cities. That's just by our house. There are other cities we're in every week so the location is really open and we want to find the one that's in the city with the lowest taxes. Unless, of course, it's based on where we live.

Thanks for any help. You guys are always the best. I can't want until I have more experience so I can pass the favor on!
