Good place to start an LLC?

[Tyler Craig]

Good morning BP,

I'm in the infancy stages of my REI career. My goal this coming year is to build my education and purchase my first property.

I currently live in Orange County, CA AND I'd like to know where would be a good place to go for creating an LLC?

Thanks in advance for any advice you all can provide.

@Tyler Craig my question would be "Do you have something to protect right now? Like a property?" If not why do you want to create an LLC? LLC's in California cost $800 a year just to form one and then you have to file taxes on income from the LLC which may cost about $1000 to hire a CPA to do that. Get something to protect first. You can form an LLC in two weeks or less.

Good Investing...
