Case study · Marsh Properties

12 LLCs in 3 states. All operating agreements one click away.

Owen Marsh owns and operates 9 single-family rentals and 3 short-term rentals across Texas, Tennessee, and Colorado. Each property is its own LLC for liability isolation. That structure works until a lender at 5pm on Friday asks for the operating agreements of all 12.

Situation

Where they were when they came to us.

Owen built the portfolio over 6 years. Initially every LLC formation, every operating agreement, every Registered Agent renewal was handled by a different attorney or service depending on which deal closed when. By 2025, his structure was 12 LLCs scattered across 3 states with operating agreements stored in 4 different email accounts, attorney filing cabinets, and his desktop.

Challenges

What stood in the way.

Challenge
Scattered documents

Operating agreements, EIN letters, and state filings across multiple providers.

Challenge
RA inconsistency

Some LLCs used commercial Registered Agent services, some used Owen's personal address, some used attorneys. Costs ranged from $0 to $295/year per LLC.

Challenge
BOI for all 12

Each LLC required BOI filing with FinCEN. Penalty $500/day per filing for non-compliance.

Challenge
Annual report tracking

Texas, Tennessee, Colorado have different annual report due dates, fees, and procedures.

Solution

What we did.

File.Business consolidated all 12 LLCs under one account. We switched the Registered Agent to File.Business for all 12 (free first year, $99/year after). Operating agreements were located, organized, and uploaded to the document vault. BOI was filed for all 12 in a single sprint. Annual report tracking centralized with calendar alerts.

Outcome
