I want to file quiet title action pro se (myself). 

I imagine there are similar guidelines in each state.As quoted from TSD 300 (revised March 2018) "The following sales and services are exempt “per se” from sales/use tax in West Virginia:The term “per se” means by, of, or in itself.

As you do more flips, you will want to elect your LLC to be taxed as S-corp to save on SE tax of almost 15% on your profit.
