Establishing Out of State LLC

[Christopher Griffin]

I posted this question in another forum but it didn't get much exposure.  Wondering if anyone has any insight from their experience.  Thanks.

I have a basic question of forming an LLC out of state for rental properties. I will eventually be utilizing the guidance of an attorney to cover all my bases, but I'm looking for some initial insight. If I am going to purchase an investment property out of state and establish an LLC in that state for the rental property, what and where will be the official registered office? Does the physical investment property double as the registered office for the LLC, and is all business mail simply forwarded to either an in state registered agent or my residential address in my home state?

I've established LLCs in the state I live in for other business ventures, but I'm not sure what the proper procedure is for out of state LLCs where no actual business office exists. Thanks.
