Should be a good way to network with other investors. 

@Ian MiddletonAttend the biggest networking event in Houston next Wednesday, Sept 19, and you will meet hundreds of local investors, along with vendors.It's a loaded question, but here is the short answer:For legal liability protection, if you need one, is an LLC.

I'm a CPA, and I am looking for Grand Forks, North Dakota area investors to connect with and build relationships with. 

I'm just getting started and looking to network and meet peers in the area. 

I am looking to network with professionals focusing in the cities of Indianapolis and Terre Haute or just hear sound advice from an experienced professional.  

Anybody aware of any REI meet ups around the Cincinnati area in the near future? Would like to connect to other local investors of any experience level.

If your CPA is suggesting such a thing, then I would check to see if he has a criminal record because if they don't have one now, they likely will soon with advice like that.Third - even if you were going to rent this future house out, an LLC does nothing for you tax wise. 

But you should keep networking and asking other mortgage loan officers if they have those types of products.

@Rei Thomas I have a network of handymen and contractors in Rochester.

Contracts are too important.After searching Google and reading thru websites, asking ones' network is still the best.
