Real Estate Attorney in Houston to create LLC

Ethya Lawani
Posted

Hello Biggerpockets!

I'm a newbie investor looking to start investing in real estate soon this year. I'm trying to decide between investing with or without an LLC in order to keep my personal assets separate. So, I'd like to see your suggestions on whether or not I should use an LLC.

If the answer is yes, should I create one myself or use an attorney? And if I should use one, do you have any good investor friendly real estate attorney recommendations. I will be investing in Houston, Texas.

 Thank you for letting me know, I didn't know that a CPA could do it for me

I would be very very skeptical if an accountant/CPA offered to create an LLC for you.
Accountants/CPA's should not be practicing law or giving legal advice.

It can also show that a business is trying to do everything but not specialize in one specific area.

If you are looking for an operating agreement - speak to an attorney.
