Would love to hear from other pros.For California investors with out-of-state properties, common asset protection strategies include using separate LLCs per property for liability isolation, though this incurs California's $800 franchise fee per LLC and administrative overhead. 

All of the NoCo franchises are jointly owned.

It’s cheaper, and you avoid California’s $800 annual franchise tax.If you form in California, you’ll pay fees in both states (California and Ohio).But I would setup an LLC in WY and appoint your Ohio LLC as the manager of the WY LLC and put it all in a land trust.

I'm looking at getting into the world of property management via a franchise.

Those fees go to the Broker not the agent… in many cases it’s a fee that the office pays to the company itself (like a franchise fee).  

I am an owner of a restaurant franchise so I am able to provide a location to do the meetings.I am looking to provide value and would like to hear from your experience what would you love to get from a REIA.

Has anyone here bought a franchise business with a SBA 7a loan?

On the other hand, keep in mind that there are costs associated with maintaining an LLC (such as the $800 annual franchise tax in California).2.

I owned a real estate franchise here in Bocas for many years and recently sold it.

Franchise Taxes and Fees: Some states have franchise taxes or annual fees for LLCs.
