The benefits of owning your own LLC or S Corp far outweigh the costs, and if you can't support the basic business structure then you may not benefit from the business you're trying to generate.Get properly educated by someone that can see the business from multiple angles and has mastered the multifamily market in your area.

My IRA is a "checkbook" IRA so I have an "IRA LLC" and I just take funds out of checking account and put them back in. 

There are many books on that subject but I would like to know if anyone has read a few, and would recommend one or two.I'm looking for a book that offers proven best practices/recommendations for setting up LLC's, land trusts, and/or S corps, etc. for properties and companies owned by a real estate investor.Any recommendations would be much appreciated!

I am coming across conflicting articles (http://speakingofrealestate.blogs.realtor.org/2011/09/07/fraud-are-your-clients-using-reverse-staging/) and past posts; some adamantly say it is illegal, some say they are submitting a contract in an LLC or Trust and then assigning the next day (wholesaling the short) and that this is legal.Any insight is much appreciated, from either side, backed up with reasoning.

I'm buying (buy and hold) a property through my LLC and using funds borrowed from my brother to help with repairs (will have a traditional first mortgage as well).Is it possible to setup the borrowed funds from my brother similar to a 2nd mortgage and also give him a % of the future sales price in the promissory note, even though he's not a member of the LLC?

I would like to try and create one myself to send to a lawyer to touch up when I create my LLC.
