I'm in a difficult situation in Oregon and trying to figure out my next steps.

holding company structure for rentals. I've been dealing with this for about 2 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already tried to resolve this directly but did not get a clear answer.

Should I hire a lawyer for this or try to handle it myself?

I work in this industry and unfortunately this is very common. The good news is that when people actually push back with legal representation, companies usually settle.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

Don't make the same mistake I did -- is escalating to a supervisor/manager. I'd recommend following the formal complaint procedure instead.

Quick tip on registered agents: don't use your home address. It becomes public record and you'll get junk mail forever. A registered agent service costs $50-150/year and keeps your address private.

Something I wish I knew earlier: you don't need an EIN to open a business bank account for a single-member LLC. Your SSN works. But getting an EIN is free and keeps your SSN off more documents.
