How should I set up my business

[Doug Haisten]

I have been flirting with the idea getting totally involved in real estate for some time. I am at the point now to jump in the deep end, both feet.

I am looking to flip propoerties working toward buy and hold for income.

I am already spending money on cards, yellow letters, web sites, etc. I have never owned a business or taken a business course. I realize I need to capture costs/expenses and then taxes (yay). What should I be doing to get my business set up right so I get full write off for my expenses and pay "properly"  my tax responsibilites.
