I'm a new Investor who also recently got my real estate license in Georgia and I have a few questions that I'm hoping to get some assistance with.

• Can I have a separate website for investing where I don't have to list my broker affiliation or the fact that I'm a Realtor?
• Can I have investing business cards that aren't associated with my Broker or mention the fact that I'm a Realtor?
• How much separation do I have to keep between the 2, do I need to have 2 separate LLCs, separate domains/email addresses?
• Do I have to run purchases through my Broker when they are cash deals that I'm doing as an investor?  Of course they are going to tell me yes, but what do I have to do legally and what does the real world do?
• At what point when I'm working on a deal do I have to divulge that I am a Realtor?

Apologies if this has been covered repeatedly.  I did some searching and didn't find the exact questions in my state, so I thought I'd start a new thread.  Appreciate any feedback.

Thanks for the responses and recommendations.  

@Todd Widdon: Since I'm just getting started, I'm trying to keep it under 150k all in at first, but realize that may be unrealistic in the northern suburbs.  I'd go east/west on the north side too, maybe over to Lawrenceville and Woodstock/Canton.

Thanks all for the recommendations and messages.  This has been very helpful already!

Hi - I'm just starting out in my investing career and am looking for some advice. I've joined the local REIA and have read a lot of material. I'm looking to flip and buy and hold and I'm having a hard time finding deals for sure. I'd like to stay in the suburbs north of Atlanta, but realize I may have to go outside that area.

Also, I went ahead and got my real estate license to get MLS access and to sell my flips myself. I haven't found a broker yet and am trying to locate an investor friendly one in the Atlanta area.

Any advice for how to begin the deal finding process, or if you know of an investor friendly broker in the area, I'd be grateful.
