Quote from @Shae Langley: An LLC is useful for two things: anonymity and legal protection.

One reason to do this is if you want to make your LLC more anonymous (because the registered agent is a matter of public record and can be searched online).  

Hi, my lawyer recommended Ohio holding LLC instead of Wyoming LLC (she said same anonymity and protection but no annual filing).

I  have no idea what you are referring too with charging 10K to set up an LLC.. that is not in any of PACEs teachings.  50% of the gator fee goes to LLC to protect your personal identity (thorug holding companies) and setting up business LOC. the pricing for building business LOC is in line with the actual cost i got direct from PCS directly. also, his point is using a company to help and ensure you have the right architecture of your LLC is to protect your anonymity for buy and holds (which has we not taught in other mentorships).
