@Paul Allen thanks for the information, I tried to keep it brief just to get a general idea of what I’m in store for.

start...I couldn't locate you.As @Paul Allen mentioned when your ready to file your taxes with your Schedule C and you have no fictitious business name do not ignore the letters you receive from the FTB and the I.R.S.

@Matthew Paul thanks buddy I am a construction worker so I have a ton of contacts and can do a lot of it myself for the first few houses

Paul,...If you're going to wholesale like a professional, only pursue deals that are worth Cash Buyers' time (target for 60% ARV if you're not confident about estimating repairs)Some wholesalers aim to lock up as many houses as possible and then walk away when their 2 cash buyers won't buy [bad] deals.

In addition to what @Paul Allen said, Look at this as two steps( does not matter if you have an entity or without entity) 1st: You will pay tax the profit of the flip.

Personally, my favorites are...ABCs of Real Estate Investing by Ken McElroyWealth Can't Wait by David Osborn and Paul Morris (about SO much more than investing, about life and it's amazing. both have appeared on the podcast)and you can't go wrong with Brandon Turner's books.Best, Derek

Thanks for the welcomes @Clifford Paul Yep...only issue I think of is managing and maintaining it.

@Brett Goldsmith @Paul Amegatcher Account Closed  Any other bits of wisdom or other actions I could take? 

I am looking for a referral in the Twin Cities/St Paul (Minnesota) market for a great handyman or GC.

The BP meet-ups are terrific, I particularly like @Paul Choate 's meetup on the 4th tuesday of each month.
