Quote from @Griffin Malcolm: Open an LLC and apply for a small business line of credit from Key Bank.

It works in the Central Business Districts of other global metropolitan cities with busy CBDs.

I’ve seen folks pivot their plans quickly if they discover one city has friendier permit processes than another.And yeah, the Phoenix area has some really down to earth investor meetups, from what I’ve heard, that can help you level up fast.What aspect of the business are you most excited to tackle first.. managing construction, or scouting out those under the radar leads?

I strongly recommend consulting with an employment attorney—search for one in the area where the business is operating.

You’re running a business not a charity after all. 

Sometimes occupants still live there and eviction is not easy, and I have even heard a story once that the yakuza are involved in the construction and real estate business and exorted money from buyers through occupants in these properties. 

When I asked for a loan, they asked if my business received money in Euros. 

Small business owners are struggling more than I thought. 

It links to our business bank account and our business credit card so come tax time, deductions should be easier.

For structuring your business, consider whether you actually need an LLC or if umbrella insurance might be a simpler alternative.
