New Investor in NW Indiana looking for legal resource referral

[Jake Barrutia]

Hi all,

I live in Chicago and am closing on my first multi-unit property in Hammond next month. Was hoping someone could refer me to a legal resource to get connected with as I continue on this journey. My immediate question is whether it's necessary to register an LLC. From my research thus far, it sounds like it it's the right option. But would love a second opinion from a professional.

Thanks and let me know if additional info would be helpful.
