If you have to update your addresses just to do a skip trace, then that defeats the purpose of the company conducting the search for you.

You can start from a place of possibility instead of defeat.

I'm feeling pretty defeated with this whole thing and a bad contractor is going to be allowed to continue to take advantage of people.

If you name your LLC after yourself it kind of defeats the purpose of having an LLC (separating your personal finances from those of the business).

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."

I had 2 properties in the Poconos general area, and recently had to close 1 due to newly passed, but sure to be defeated, anti-Airbnb laws by a local township. 

Seriously defeats the purpose.
