A better alternative is a neighborhood shipping store that rents mailboxes (I used to own one!)

And where you are getting out of a sinking ship (CA) the sooner you liquidate and relocate the more your returns will not be effected by the declining markets you are leaving. 

If you run a tight ship, the only assets that a lawsuit can have access to is those that are in the LLC.

I'm glad that this isn't a reason to jump ship on this deal.  

I see some of this as deflationary to larger cities in the same way shipping jobs overseas was deflationary to a lot of jobs like call centers and IT.I don't know what's going to happen, but from an outside view something doesn't seem quite right when the wages are so far from the average.

@Wendy Jiang I prefer Lowes because they keep the biggest stock and have the fastest shipping time between their store and the closest warehouse as compared to the local Home Depot.

It boils down to do you want to buy space on a big ship going to fancy places?

I believe these to be oversights that should be cleaned up before the ship hits rough waters.

Most of the tanked returns were for bad manufacturing or transport (how do you ship a water heater with smashed controls, dents the size of bowling balls, caved tops, or missing internal piping without a scratch on the shipping carton?
