There is no cookie cutter approach to this.  

However, there is no cookie cutter approach to this and what works for you may not work for your partner or anybody else.Talk to a CPA that understands these issues and be prepared to discuss both you and your partners other sources of income, your retirement contribution goals, your future retirement goals, your tolerance for extra paperwork, etc, before you make a choice on what type of structure you will use to run your flipping business in.

No cookie cutter answer.

I just use a spreadsheet where I organize my campaigns, and then self-print regularly with an ink-jet printer using card stock and a paper cutter.

having done a lot of business in Detroit and in Hinds and RAnkin and Madison counties I can attest to that thought process.for the OP there is the RIG meetings which is what your probably referring too.I was just there last week looking at all our stuff there.. some streets are probably beyond help but other areas I can see a definite change for the better.and in the Fondren area we are seeing retail flips were 5 years ago I only funded deals there for rental purposes.. ( I am talking West of State St.)
