I just got off the phone with a very smug account Wells Fargo business checking associate who was very proud of discovering my registered agent's address (used on LLC filing)  on the state website listed for other LLCs. 

I'm happy to chat with you in more detail via phone or email if you'd like.Best,Leo

The IRS allows "any reasonable method" - county allocation certainly being one of them, if not the most common one. 

Do you share anything in common with them? 

Google there and naked a few phone callsl

Rates are starting to head up so I would think that would be common for all lenders.

"build a list/team and then start". you have to start first and then look for people. noone will pick up the phone when you say "i am thinking of buying houses".

When I wanted to setup an LLC for my self-directed IRA for instance I used KKOS lawyers from the west coast because it's something they specialize in.I don't think you necessarily need to be local with those professionals unless you really want a face-to-face relationship. 90% of whatever you need will happen over phone or email anyway even if they're in town.

I’m not sure if I can put his phone number on here so inbox me if you need it.

I think knowing that helps you make the right decision.The less you have support something is usually a bad situation as well as managing your own units which seems to be common with SFH's.
