Questions On Costs and Structure for LLCs

[Gary Freidman]

I just finished listening to the podcast with Scott Smith

I am looking at forming an LLC and I had a couple of questions of everyone who has a ton more expereince than I do:

1) How much does it typically cost to form and maintain a land trust/LLC structure? Is it more for a series LLC?

2) If I buy properties in Chicago IL but live in New Jersey does it make sense to have a Deleware LLC?

3) Does it matter where I have a lawyer and accountant? Do I need one in my home state and one where I do business or can I basically use a lawyer and CPA from any state?

Other than Scott who is probablly insanly busy now does anyone have any good reccomendations for lawyers and CPAs?

Sorry just a total newbie.
