My CPA opened one for me when I was buying a commercial property in IL.

I suspect that almost perfect applicant was trying to rent multiple house to run a network of brothels.

No problem i have plenty of sources and a solid network around the area.

Another way to add value is to network in your local REIA, and provide education.

I’d like to get plugged in to network, learn, partner, etc.

I've done lots of reading and research (including on this forum), but I'm looking to network with some real people who would be willing to share their experiences with me. 

Even though it has only been a few days since a RE agent colleague mentioned networking on BP, I have started learning so much that I did not know about real estate strategies pertaining to growth.

Meet and network with other investors and see what they are doing.

What you will pay in interest on the "rehab" fund depends upon your network of private lenders. 

Talk to your CPA, or if you don't have one just read the forums here and the articles and posts by @Amanda Han and @Brandon Hall and @Linda Weygant and @Jim Kennedy and many many other CPA's and you're likely to get the answer to make sure you set up a separate LLCs for doing flips and buying rentals.
