I'd recommend researching your entity options here (in the Bigger Pockets forums) and also maybe browse through / buy a book or two at a local bookstore (if there are any still around - I think Barnes & Noble in Warwick is still there ;).

I'll look for the books you mentioned on my next trip to the bookstore.

You can go to your local book store and buy a few books for $20 and learn all you need to know or even your local library.The online groups like these are also a great help and free.

@Morenika Somerville, check out the BP bookstore.  

It is a very thorough and methodical approach to fix and flips, and I consider it the finest resource on the process that I've seen on the internet or in a bookstore.

I'd rather spend UP TO a few hundred bucks at the book store than thousands from making real life costly mistakes in real estate.
