@Kashif Riaz depending on how you set Podio up it can be a help or a hinderance.

Thanks  Refinances have traditionally been anywhere from 30% to 80% of a given firm's business, depending on the firm.

Depending on what you're using the LOC for, there are different options. 

It just depends why and for what purpose you want the property as to whether or not it is a good deal.

@Phyllis EffahI would look to forming the LLC in Alabama as that is the state that you will be considered doing business in.While CA does have a $800 minimum tax; you may be able to potentially avoid having to pay it.This will depend on the level of activity of your partner/member who lives in CA.If he is a non-managing member and doesn't make any decisions regarding the LLC; it can potentially be avoided (money partner).

Good buys north  of Huntsville too if you are ever interested, depending on your comfort level.

But it could be a stretch depending on how you use them.
