Start a business or not

[Eric Martinez]

So after a lot of research and meeting with other individuals who have been investing. It has become time to stop reading about everything and act on it. Now I have my own money that I was planning on using, but was recently approached by family asking if I could use some of theirs. This would benefit me as it would allow us to get more houses as we are looking at buy and holds. The family member needs to invest in something for tax purposes, so I want to make sure it is done properly. What is the best way you guys would go about it for those who may have experience with this.
