Thank you everyone for taking the time to share your advice. I am not certain at this point as to handle it, but I am definitely headed in the right direction. 

I know it may be getting ahead of myself to set up liability protection without a large portfolio, but I'm pretty conservative and think setting up entities in the beginning will help me later on.

Thanks for the Responses.

@Zach Sikes

 Where do you think is the best "pocket" for buy and hold strategy specifically for small multifamily (duplex-quadplex)?

Hey all my OKC BP People,

I just wanted to send a poll out there and try to really define what kind of real estate market OKC is. If you wouldn't mind, just a quick response to what is the best strategy (e.g. buy and hold, flipping, etc.) and why?

Thanks

Ron, Thanks for the advice. I will be contacting your wife in the near future to get the ball rolling. 

Theresa, I will look into your suggestion, thank you for your input. I look forward to meeting you when we move to OKC.

Thanks for the clarification, John. I'll have to look more into it.

It's great to think ahead. It is apparent you already have some knowledge of the advantages of LLC's / S-Corps.

However it sounds like you are just starting out.  Unless you have plenty of assets to protect, just start out in your own name.  Make sure you have property insurance.  You can even get an umbrella insurance at a fraction of the cost and hassle of establishing entities.

Entities are inherently difficult to understand.  You talk to a lawyer, he will give you advice on protection in lieu of tax advantages.  You talk to an accountant, he will give you advice on tax advantages in lieu of asset protection.  Why drop a few thousand now to set up what you think is the right structure, when 9 times out of 10 you will revise it at a later time?

 That makes sense, thank you. Also, if I start out getting the properties on my own, while having sufficient property insurance, will I have issues with the mortgages when I transfer the properties into a separate entity?

Arlan,

I appreciate the response. I don't know what qualifies as loaded with cash, but I can assume I do not qualify. However, I would prefer not to lose my life savings and retirement funds because of one incident...with that being siad, is the thought of everything being taken from me if I don't have a separate entity just a beginners myth?

Hey BP,

Looking for a real estate lawyer in the OKC area. Has anyone worked with a lawyer in the area and would recommend their services? I am looking for a long term relationship with a good amount of real estate investing.

Respectfully,
