New Wholesaler Questions--LLC, etc.
Hi BP!
Looking to start wholesaling in MN.
And I have many more questions than answers:
Do I form an LLC before I start looking for properties?
Other legal arrangements I need to take care of before I get started?
What are some big red flags in a property?
For those numbers on the DNC list in PropStream, what happens if I call them?
What's your greatest WS success story?
Biggest failure?
Something you wish you had done differently when you were starting?
Thanks!

Do I form an LLC before I start looking for properties? -No but having a business allows you to expense and be taxed on less$$
Other legal arrangements I need to take care of before I get started? NA
What are some big red flags in a property? Wholesaling you NEED to disclose all Problems, hide stuff and you will not have buyers. Everything is fixable.
For those numbers on the DNC list in PropStream, what happens if I call them? If caught Fines, Big Fines
