I am looking to start a REI company and I am looking for RE friendly CPAs to help guide me in this endevor,  Does anyone have a recommendation for CPAs in the Dothan, Enterprise, or Ozark area?

The thing is, I believe there are pockets in and around this city and (other cities, I'm sure) where maybe because of a business or social service enterprise etc rents in these pockets can "defy" or thrive in spite of "stagnated incomes" that you pointed out.

My initial search has been the Bureau of Labor Statistics as well as state data sites.

It seems as if the current state of the real estate market here calls for a bit more creativity on the part of the enterprising investor. 

After a lot of contemplation, I've decided forming an LLC would be best for my business.My original plan was to name my LLC: Peracca Enterprises, LLC, and file a DBA for Chicago Home Buyers.

If you are now in the very low income rental business but may change to rehabbing and selling high priced property, "Flop House Enterprises" probably is not a good name choice.Personally, I always name my businesses something generic.

I'm looking to potentially buy a house with my best friend, a very savvy, enterprising kid who's 22.

depends on what vehicle you use.. if your pooling investment capital into one fund and for a common enterprise then some sort of PPM is usually required.... no licesne required to do these they just need to be done as 506 offerings.. the sponsor does not need licesne.. you need license in some cases if you are marketing the PPM for investors.. if you have the investors already then its pretty simple.. suggest you SIMPLY talk to a good securities attorney and tell them what you want to do and ask them to prep the docs... usually 10 to 40k for this 

I have 2 townhouses with property management in place outside of Fort Rucker Army Base in Enterprise Alabama. 

If this post disappears, you will know why.Here's a copy of the complaints I submitted to the Better Business Bureau.
