Should I incorporate first?

[Andy Chen]

Hello Everyone,

My name is Andy and new to real estate investing.  I'm currently doing my homework before initiating my first investment.  I'm looking into flipping houses around Northern California area and want to know should I incorporate myself before I rehab my first home?  I've asked several people about this online and got different answers.  Want to see if anyone here can provide their opinion on this as well.

After doing plenty of poking around, I have come to a realization that there are many ways to start this business, but I want to start it with model that minimizes risk.

Thanks for listening in!!
