. :)Your last name or first initial last or first and last is fine, or some geographical area name if it's not taken, like Homes of the Ozarks, LLC.There is a longer thread about selecting a company name, might search for that.Do a name search before you file, make sure it's not close to another name and don't try to form any company name that implies government involvement, like RE department of state name or something.

Michael Seeker great explanation.

I'm interested in also wholesaling out of state and not limiting myself to 1 geographic area. 

I've been under many noncompetes in my life,,they aren't simple one paragraph contracts.Many things have to be right for it to actually hold water, I'm mainly familiar with Texas,, here if your not compensated for a non-compete you'll probable get it thrown out,,it has to be reasonable (you can't make it for too long or cover too large a geographical area,,,sometimes it will cover a portion of a city, I've been under two that covered the country, but guess what, it was a very, very small area of expertise, and it wouldn't be any good unless it covered the entire country.Anytime you want to write a contract, go pay an attorney, you don't need anything complicated, but the first thing you need to ask is if you can even accomplish what you want to accomplish under your state's lawsBTW, if people tell you "I live in a right to work state", that has absolutely NOTHING to do with a non-compete, that is dealing with unions, but I often hear people say that related to non-competes

No explanation, just "NO."

No reply - most likely will be rejected.Does Homepath submittal have a place where one can include some sort of explanation or letter to state my price justification?

I am not as overly concerned as Doug as the geographic concentration or exclusion.

This is a question I have brought up in my office and the simple explanation is return phone calls if you cant answer and give them a weekly update.

I have not really received too much explanation other than rates have gone up for new policies since hurricane Sandy.

As I learn more about real estate, my thoughts continually go back to the analytics behind various investments and geographic areas.
