Domestic and Foreign Investor; general business advice

[Alex Fierro]

Greetings, finding a business/real estate lawyer that will actually return calls or emails has been taxing so I decided to post here to get the advice from all the gurus. Spouse and I are small time real estate investors, we are looking to do some fix/flips in Texas. My spouse has a decent following and some are interesting in investing. Some of the investors are international. Being novices in the game we do not have the legal or business background to know where to begin on accepting funds. Does anyone have any resources or contacts where we might get some guidance? We are hoping to avoid doing any sort of partnership and maintain a single member LLC, but searching online hasn't been fruitful. We have gotten a slew of information but are still unclear what the first step to take would be. Also hoping to get someone to review the operating agreements to make sure our ducks are in a row. Thank you kindly!
