I have flipped a few houses during covid and remote working times and was fortunate enough to grow up in a family of real estate investors and entrepreneurs which has provided me mentors and exposure to starting and operating a business.I am thinking of starting my own construction/development company in a few years time and wanted to hear some opinions from people who have done it who are outside of my circle.

With increased regulation, real estate firms must be vigilant, ensuring they handle data in compliance with ever-evolving privacy laws.Real Estate’s Unique Exposure to Data Privacy RegulationsReal estate, as a sector, relies heavily on personal data.

Our greatest exposure is a new 75 acre subdivision coming in line this fall.  

Short term or midterm rentals (under 30 days) can also limit your exposure to the negatives of California's tenant laws. 

Working with a title company and consulting a real estate attorney can help minimize exposure.

Therefore your focus should be spent understanding how to operate your business in a manner that avoids conflict and liability exposure because that's the best line of defense.

You also asked if you should put your own house into an LLC.Yes, I think getting a Home Equity Line of Credit is a great way to get access to that equity and only use and pay for what you need.Putting your own house into an LLC may affect your ability to claim homestead taxes so you may not want to do that and may also affect your home insurance.However, putting your fix and flip into an LLC can reduce your liability exposure but make sure you also have the right insurance on the property while it is being worked on.

MTR is not my specialty but I am all for maximizing exposure. 

For context, I'm in my 30s and while I'm healthy, my days of working back-breaking jobs for minimum wage and "exposure" are over.

Obviously the exposure on this site won't be as great but we can list it as a link to friends and family to book through maybe.
