If you are a sole propriator working from home and are not a business you may not need a business license but you would be crazy to be flipping houses or owning many rental properties without being incorporated.    

Geoff:We've been incorporating energy efficiency measures into our retrofits for a few years now.  

My recommendation would be to make sure you incorporate an "attorneys fees" provision into your future leases, which allow you to pass the costs onto the tenant. 

If you ever have questions about how we use the different features of Buildium please feel free to PM me.I looked at your site and I really like your logo and slogan!

The LLC would be in New York.Some topics I've seen:- Articles of Incorporation- LLC partnership or LLC corporation- Real estate attorney- Real estate CPA- Operating agreementWhat's important up front and what I can figure out later?

I'm incorporated in Nevada and I am required to have a business license.

Being that I had a full-time job, my plan was to wholesale part-time and eventually incorporate the buy/hold strategy.

Or would you sell your house to a company who presented their name of the company along with a logo and/or website so they could verify you really are a legal company?

We have an administrative assistant who will email me if she gets a lead on one of my properties, I am pictured on the broker's website, I have the ability to purchase business cards with the company logo on it.

However TN only provides such an exemption to Sole Proprietorships and General Partnerships – both of which do not have a strong corporate veil (which is the main reason why you incorporate in the first place).
