Georgia: Setting Up a Business
So I'm totally lost.
I'm an out of state investor about to go into contract on my first rental in Georgia. For the time being I'm going to go as a sole proprietorship, eventually hopefully in a year or two I'll make it into an LLC.
As I understand it, I need to register in Georgia as a business with the state, as well as with the county. To do this I need a federal EIN as well as a state EIN. Do I also need to register in my current state (Washington)? I thought that if you're owning SFH and not in an LLC form you can run taxes etc on your personal income tax statement?
Would it be better to contact an attorney/CPA in the state of Georgia to handle setting this up?
