But if you want to form an LLC, you can go to the Texas Secretary of State website, https://www.sos.state.tx.us/co..., create an account with their SOS online portal, and for about $300 bucks file a certificate of formation.

You will have to maintain the LLC in the state in which you live, which usually requires an annual report filed with the Secretary of State's office in your state. 

In Colorado you would need to update the business address with the Secretary of State.

What states are you talking about...most Secretary of State departments have been progressively moving toward "open for business" and the barriers to get registered as a foreign entity and get your articles are cost effective and easy.Now, property taxes are another story altogether...your LLC is probably welcome in most every state, but taxation can be rough, especially if you invest in a location with a struggling school system...or areas with historically low property assessments...just some things to think about...Best of luck

@Collin Lee Johnson I would say first step's would be to look up the mechanic's lien with the Iowa Secretary of State's Office in there Mechanic's Notice and Lien Registry, here to the link to search the registry. https://sos.iowa.gov/mnlr/inde...After that get a copy of the contract(s) that your aunt signed with this contractor.

My response is always, “Well, when you run off with the secretary and I’m stuck with your wife on the lease and no ability to pay, what do I do then?”

that depends on the laws of missipppi ... in CA you are supposed to register an out of state business with the Secretary of State in CA if you're doing business in CA.

Someone at a Michigan secretary of state office should be able to provide some info regarding disposition.
