Thank you for your replies, they make sense.I do have an attorney, I probably should have consulted with him right away.

Anyone who is not a licensed attorney and has not engaged in a thorough consultation is only offering guidance from their own particular experiences which, while not the worst advice, is unlikely to maximize both your asset protection strategy, minimize your risk based on your personal aversion, and protect other ancillary legal matters that may be going on in your life.Before making this decision, speak with an attorney where you are located.

The consulting background and big data experience has made me much more comfortable in front of a spread sheet.  

I suggest you consult a real estate attorney.That being said I have worked in commercial property management for the past 4+ years in office and industrial.

I already have a consulting business on the side and for me analysis is my home turf, and I don't think I've hit the paralysis of analysis side of the business primarily because of the knowledge I'm simply picking up from books and the bigger pockets podcast to better understand how a real estate investor should think.

The GA REIA has a free monthly meeting in College Park, GA that is a good place to learn and network.I own a tax return preparation, financial planning, and business consulting firm in the Atlanta area.

A little about me, I am New York based CPA and management consultant.

I am a regular Project Manager in a consulting firm seeking for some new ventures out there.

The first thing I'd do is consult the CPA.Best of luck--I'm jealous of your equity (in a good way).
