Isn't Delaware $300 a year to have an LLC there?

Shouldn't you pick a state that has little to no annual filing fee?

If you register your LLC in a different state from where you live, you need to hire a Registered Agent in that state for legal reasons, which adds a bit of cost (about $100-200 per year) and some complexity.
