    LLC for side work?

    I'm down in Florida too and the answer is a definite yes. The good news is it's pretty simple nowadays. $135 per year and for the most part yours all set. Obviously there's more to it, but at the end of the day it's worth it for the amount of business you can, and likely will, take on if your...

    Laughed out of the office

    $400 is absolutely reasonable for that size property. Video is usually where it really raises the price. If you can put together a nice video, I can see you charging $400 just for the video (assuming 60 second video). All in all, $400 is a great deal for the client.
