@Ather TaquiI am no attorney, but a consultation with one in your local market would be a great idea.However, Ill mention this.Keep everything separate.

I am working as a consultant part-time so I have the ability to set aside time each day for research, meetings, etc.I don't necessarily need a lot of cash flow on the front end but would like to "get the ball rolling" to start building equity.Any advice on how to get started is greatly appreciated, thanks!

Hey even flipping we're good at.Ask your questions here, anything counts, in one place and I will give you a solid data-backed (NEVER opinion-based) answer.In case you don't know me, My name is MSOOTKAUG, and am quite damn good at generating actually motivated seller leads, ranking websites #1, Credibility, and Conversions and people usually have to fork over their first=born child to have me consulting them.

It's advisable to gather all relevant documentation and consult with legal counsel to assess your options thoroughly.

The one's that I have spoken with normally offer free consultations but won't honor it in this case and are demanding payment up front before they can even confirm whether or not they can do it.

If you want me to drive to you; provide consultation, lay outs, code requirements etc, then I charge for that.

The market is good in Pinal County; the job growth has been solid, with companies like Lucid and others growing in the area.I am happy to consult with you regarding neighborhoods that are renting well in those areas.

I’ve been Consulting with Hawaii Department of Education for over 15+ years.

This might be a lot of new information for you so feel free to ask if you have any questions.As has already been suggested, you might want to consult with a good real estate attorney who practices in the area where the property is located. 

Of course consult appropriate legal and tax advice, but generally speaking many investors start with buying a few before going down the rabbit hole of LLCs.
