From what I have heard of Florida that it has a growing population and a need for housing.Forming an entity of some type of a corporation or a LLC will help you in keeping your personal items separate.  

Hello,Can anyone here recommend a real estate lawyer in Arizona who can advise me on setting up a corporation for holding real estate investments?

[i] 59 OS § 858-301 states, “It shall be unlawful for any person to act as a real estate licensee, or to hold himself or herself out as such, unless the person shall have been licensed to do so under the Oklahoma Real Estate License Code.” 59 OS § 858-102 (11) states, “‘Licensee’ shall include any person who performs any act, acts or transactions set out in the definition of a broker and licensed under the Oklahoma Real Estate License Code.” 59 OS § 858-102 (2) states, “The term ‘real estate broker’ shall include any person, partnership, association or corporation, foreign or domestic, who for a fee, commission or other valuable consideration, or who with the intention or expectation of receiving or collecting a fee, commission or other valuable consideration, lists, sells or offers to sell, buys or offers to buy, exchanges, rents or leases any real estate, or who negotiates or attempts to negotiate any such activity, or solicits listings of places for rent or lease, or solicits for prospective tenants, purchasers or sellers, or who advertises or holds himself out as engaged in such activities.”

Using real estate is always well for businesses, corporations, along the journey of someone's definite of purpose.

I have realized that over the last 12+ years in corporate america that the stress, bureaucracy, and increasing hours are taking time away from my family, friends, hobbies, and myself.  

I found the corporation people extremely difficult to deal with. 

Still a spring chicken @John Arendsen :-)  I'm in my 50's and have similar personal beliefs but "corporate" beliefs are a different animal.  

Many others start when they have matured and have known the grind and professionalism of a corporate environment but we don't have that.

An LLC, corporation or partnership are legally recognized entities so the state treats them as a fictitious "person" in the eyes of the law so if the LLC owns it then your personal liability is limited to your investment in the LLC if everything goes overboard.

You can also do the same with a NV company that files a lien on one of the properties because NV companies do not reveal owners or partners.If you have sole member LLCs create a management corporation so your liability is limited because LLCs are disregarded entity for the IRS and in FL they are also disregarded for the Courts.For real estate property, FL protects your homestead for the its value.
