The series LLC for DE was about $860 all in but that included expediting fees charged by the state to assure the LLC was fully setup within two weeks.I ultimately chose the series LLC because it allows me to separate each house or DBA into a separate series which has all of the advantages of creating a separate LLC just without all the paperwork and at a fraction of the cost.Good luck

Its certainly not misleading to the ultimate buyer when things are fully disclosed.Also it appears to me that sometimes real estate commissions try to regulate things they don't like even though they don't have the statutory authority to do so.

Excellent choices for well-established neighborhoods.

I live in FL so I know about having to use A\C year round.As you know people mention a brand and price but not model which will ultimately determine the total cost.I was in the exact same situation and due to the rusted coil tubing, and overall condition of the Air Handler decided for a total A\C replacement.Payne is considered "Builders Grade" lowest grade and some A\C guys argue not to install them because it reflects on their reputation when you have problems with the system.Look for the highest seer rated, quietest, best warranty HVAC that is fairly priced.The installer is a HUGE part of the HVAC's life span, along with your regular changing filters, cleaning coils when needed, cleaning drain lines and vacuuming dust out of the Air Handler Cabinet.

They are efficient, been used in other countries for years, are good choice for smaller units, and can be cheaper than central HVAC.
