Wholesaling out of state , does my llc need to be in the state?

[Vadim Rubinstein]

I am in the process of starting a nationwide real estate wholesaling business. I do not want to limit myself to deals in the local marketplace because my local marketplace is extremly competitive and expensive and I wish to go out of state to not limit my pool of deals.

My question is: I set up a wyoming LLC (because everyone says its good for protection). My funds are limited and I really dont want to open up 10-20 LLCs under my main wyoming llc in each state I do business in. Do I have to set up an LLC in each state I start wholesaling. Or can I just have 1 out of state LLC and use that. As It is cost prohibitive for me to set up all these LLCs since I am just starting out.

I physically live in Los Angeles, Ca.

Any tips are appreciated.
