What is the most efficient way to form an LLC

I have been looking to setup my LLC to manage operations for my fund (still raising). What are some of the ways others have set up their LLCs. Is legalzoom a necessary option or is the DIY approach good enough. Can a LLC be formed in Delaware since the fund is searching for companies nationally or does it have to be in your state or residence? These are some of my open questions. Would greatly appreciate if the community shared their perspectives on this particular item.

DIY...it's easier, faster, and will familiarize you with how your state agency works...also chatGPT is good for answering the questions you have (to point you in the right direction at least). then you can just double check with an attorney once you have it figured 90% out.

I do not recommend LegalZoom. DIY is much faster and cheaper. There are many good video tutorials on YouTube.
