How to cut down NY LLC public notification costs

[Tom Liu]

I'm planning to start a LLC for my first real estate purchase. Located in NYC but planning to invest upstate (likely orange county). Would it be advantageous to form it with a upstate P.O. Box address? Advantageous in the sense that public notifications cost would be lower than in the NYC 5 borough region? I heard that PN costs can run about $1000 or so in NYC. Not sure if it would be the same upstate.
