You should probably consult a lawyer and cpa to help you decide.As a general rule, for LLC owning directly real estate, it is often recommended to have the LLC recognized in the state where the property is located as it is a requirement if your LLC need to be represented in court (think eviction or code enforcement problems).There are ways around like using a local operating entity or even in some cases land trust.The choice of the LLC state may also be based on some cost factors.Last but not least, while all LLCs have the same inside liability protection, states differs widely on outside protection.

If you look at year over year price appreciation there are zip codes and contained local areas where the values have just soared.  

Then Code enforcement uses the information in the CU report to start issuing code violations (usually within 10 days of the CU report being publically recorded). 

For my projects, I buy all the “finishes” which are pretty much anything you can see with the naked eye (except for paint, which I just give the contractor the color codes).

What’s the group code?  

It needed a fairly decent rehab to bring it up to code.
