Fix-and-Flipping with out-of-state entity

Hi BP Fam,

If I set up an LLC in, say, Illinois, and then purchase a property in Ohio, renovate and sell it, does that count as "doing business in Ohio" such that I would have to register that Illinois LLC in Ohio as a foreign entity doing business in the state of Ohio? Thanks in advance.

To do business in another state "Other" than the state you are domiciled in reqires the following. 1. Pay the foreign entity fees to the secretary of that new state. 2. Pay a firm or individual to act as your registered agent in the new state. 3. File a tax return in the new state.
