Hypothetical question

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.

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.
