If you think you can defend your intention, you should be fine.  

But as someone who has an LLC and had the occasion to have to defend it I want to say that the most important part of picking someone for advice is that you choose someone who specializes in your field. 

I am not advocating for unlicensed brokering nor would I ever defend those who do.

You can defend a suit, but would be unable to bring claims without registering as a foreign entity, and an eviction is a suit.  

G'Day everyone,It's very unfortunate that it has come to this but I am left with no choice other than to defend my personal brand, a company that I am part owner in and to also share our side of the story.There is no point in hiding since we are being slandered behind the scenes anyway and since we did nothing wrong.The company in question that @Bobby Narinov is referring to is Oz Realty which is one of the most reputable property managers in Toledo.

in Jackson its the RIG meeting once a week.. keep in mind though advertising a property you dont own in MS is not legal.. its done every day but if someone turns you into the department of real estate your going to spend some money defending yourself.I had a client in MS.. now granted he was a volume player in the turn key space but he would advertise his BRRRRs before he owned them. 

I was particularly surprised to learn Fundrise, which champions RE investment opportunities for unaccredited investors, has set up a QOF with that restriction.

They are the defendant in numerous housing court cases in Chicago as well.

You can defend a suit, but won't be able to bring your own claims in that case.Even if you don't register, you don't have to have an address in Texas. 

@Ben Leybovich the tariffs are less about real cost impact today and more about companies raising prices to defend from increasing costs over time.
