Need help to start flipping

[Blake Powell]

Hello everyone, my name is Blake and I have begun to dive head first in trying to educate myself. I am from indiana and I am currently taking a few months to learn and plan my goals for investing. I am wanting to eventually get to the point where I can. Quit my current job and just invest. I picture having rentals to keep a steady cash flow and flip houses. I am good with working on houses. I am picturing buying houses and fixing them up myself as I enjoy that part a lot while collecting rent from other properties. 

So my questions are, if I do all the repairs myself do i need to have general contractor license or anything along those lines to do so?

Any suggestions on how I should setup my buisness to get started?

If I were to buy a property to rent before my buisness is formed would it be easily transfered to my buisness down the road?

Thanks for all your help!
