Lila welcome to biggerpocketsMy suggestion is to interview several real estate agentsand to attend a few of your local reia meetingsAt your local reia meetings you most likely will connect with a few agent / investors ( networking )As Ned / Brandon stated - a few keyword alerts examples :~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~San Diego, Sacramento, California, Anaheim ,North Carolina, South Carolina, Charlotte, etc

I don't believe their ruling affect multiple member LLC's.

J Scott My CPA touched on the dealer status issue as well, describing how to set up multiple entities in order to treat flips as capital gains, rather than ordinary income.
