Hi all -- I recently purchased 13 acres and built a 10K SF warehouse/office space for my business.I'm looking to begin developing the rest of the land with some contractor garages.

I originally created an llc to purchase the land, however decided after to buy it in my name and transfer into the llc after the house is built, rented, and refinanced.
