Hey BP folks,
So I have created an LLC for my rental property, and needing to set up an EIN number for the business bank account.
I am currently using a third party as my registered agent.
When I go to set up my EIN, one of the question asks for the LLC physical address. Would I be able to use the registered agents physical address for this? Or would I need to use either the rental property address or my personal address?

I recommend utilizing the business address that you used when you filed the LLC with the state. The EIN application also allows you to put in an alternate address for mailing. If the LLC is out of state and you don't have regular access to it, then I'd recommend using either your home address or getting a P.O. Box to receive mail. I wouldn't recommend using the property address as the mailing address, as then your tenants would be the ones receiving it.
what if you live out of state? Since it's asking for the physical address/location of my LLC, I don't know if my out of state home address would be appropriate. Thanks

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!
I use my personal address as if I get something from the government I do not want it going anywhere but to me.
