Creating an LLC - Please Share Any Thoughts/Experiences

[John Finch]

Hey guys and gals,

Any tips on creating an LLC? Is it worth going through a service like LegalZoom, or should you just handle all the paperwork yourself? Thoughts on creating it in state vs out of state (i.e Delaware, Nevada or Wyoming)?

I don't completely understand the implications/disadvantages for creating an LLC in another state from where you list your "physical address". Is it even worth listing a physical address for your business?

I live in Texas, for reference, and this is where I'll be doing most of my business starting out.

Thanks in advance for all your great insight!
