Meeting with attorney, what questions should I ask?

[Account Closed]

Im meeting with an attorney tomorrow for a consult about establishing an LLC for myself. Ive done some reading and have a list of questions but I would absolutely appreciate advice on what to ask this guy, as i'm paying for my time with him and want to get the most out of it.

YOU need to ask yourself WHY you need a LLC in the first place, what your investing strategy is and how he/she can help you.

Is it asset protection? 

Is it tax purposes? 

When Does Setting Up an Entity for Your Investments Make Sense?

Should You Get an LLC For Your Real Estate Business?

@Chris T.
LLC just for protection I presume, but asset protection and tax benefits can be gained by having the property under your name. Liability get umbrella.

@Account Closed if you have a real purchase agreement for a deal then bring that to the meeting and you will have plenty to talk about. You learn as you go in this business. The attorney will teach you exactly what you need to Know throughout the process. Planning to buy flips throughout the year will be different legal/tax advice than buying rentals.  If you are flipping it may make more sense to create an s-corp vs Llc so you could ask about that. Good luck!

@Chris T. @Michael P. @Charlie John so i met with the attorney about general questions concerning establishing myself as an LLC and 90% of the advice he had to offer I had already read in Garret Sutton's book "start your own corporation," which i heard about in a BP podcast. Strongly recommend for any investor, new or seasoned.
