@Manish Shah True, but a LLC is meant for business purposes, if your home is for personal use rather than cash machine then you don’t need it, but LLC is the way to go regardless it’s a one shot barrier to protect you in many ways.

I firmly believe that we would not have gotten the three profit machines that we did without having the edge of her negotiating skills.

People or companies that own a bunch of vending machines and run routes.

You'd need a time machine if you wanted to build for $100/sf.
