Point me in the right direction please

[Brian Humphrey]

Hey everyone,

A little about myself, I have two kids 4 and 1 and a wife. I will be starting a new job that will be making a lot more than I make now which is not much. I have always been interested in real estate. So with this extra income and knowing we can live on less, I will save a decent amount. Now here is the problem, I been reading and not sure where to go first. I want to start a business and not do it under my name. So do I find my first investment and then make the business, or make the business then start looking? Does it matter? Should it be an LLC which Im thinknig it should for liabilty stand point. I also live in Wheeling, WV not much big business or anmything close by. I am having trouble finding any sinvestment support group or any close enough without driving to pittsburgh. Also, should I do three seperate businesses since I live clsoe to Ohio and PA? Im jsut lost on what to do and needed to be pointed in the right direction. I have a passion for rental niche with duplexs, apartment complex etc.. and also would like to get into flipping. I havent decided in wholesaling or anything like that and not sure with where I live if it would be worth it. I have a lot more questions but first will be first I'm sure I will be back to ask more and hopefully I can be an assistance back to everyone soon. Thank you for your answers.
