We charge $300 to setup and LLC, bank account and EIN, and it’s $100 per year after that to act as your registered agent. We work in Michigan, so I can’t speak directly for Atlanta, but I’m shocked at those prices to simply setup an LLC.

Now, I will say this, if they are setting up an operating agreement (which…[Read more]

My company is very similar to Nathan’s and I understand the systems he has in place to ensure lower turnover, lower maintenance costs, etc. I can go into a very long discussion on the systems we have in place for this, but I’d much rather talk about a more…[Read more]

What sent Detroit down the tubes 5 years ago is the exact reason Detroit will rebound so heavily in the future.

The auto industry in the US certainly hit a major setback in 2008 and there were massive job losses in Detroit. This coupled with the foreclosure crisis caused…[Read more]

Opening a bank account is very easy if you come to the US. If you’re not planning to come to the US it can still be done in three steps:

Like Dan I also live in Michigan and I am investing Michigan for the same reason Dan stated…everything is on sale. You need to know the right areas to be investing in because like every city there are certainly bad areas. However, if you know what you’re doing now is a phenomenal time…[Read more]
