How should I set up my business
24 June 2017 | 3 replies
good question. ...the LLC structure can provide you with the structure you are looking for and the ability to protect your personal assests. your state department of taxation and assessments website should have printable forms, directions and fee list. lastly, the llc structure can allow for you to have one business for ALL of your real estate endeavors or multiple llc's in order to separate the flipping from the rentals, thus insulating the revenues in case one falters.try searching "best business structure for real estate flipping"......this will lead you to many articles and once you digest them you will be more confident no matter what structure you pursue. .... hope this helps.

Marco Giovannoli If you want to do this on your own, I suggest you:- speak with a planning consultant to get a good idea of the approvals process and timeline; - speak with an engineering consultant will give you an idea of the costs involved with servicing a site that size and a reasonable timeframe to complete the work;- speak with the town planning department to get a sense of the town's view regarding the development and determine the paperwork/studies that will have to be submitted;- ask the vendor/broker if there is an environmental report done for the site to determine the extent to which soil remediation will need to be undertaken;If this is your first project, I highly suggest you find a developer to partner with in order to learn the process first.
