I am trying to get a LLC set up, the bank requires one to close. This is my first time so can someone give me some advice on how and where to go to? Attorney? Legal zoom? Other site? There seem to be a lot of choices with options and I want to make sure I get what is needed and not miss something.
Thanks in advance

Thanks @Robert Leonard. Would you or anyone else know who might need such a person? I am used to higher end projects and I have a good eye for detail. South Houston, Pearland Friendswood area is a great place to be in this market. If anyone needs a honest guy that can project manage, lunch is on me.

Hi everyone, just curious as to how many people pick up SF from auctions like hubzu, auction or tax sales at courthouse. Is this too risky? Do the prices get driven up to retail prices? I am inn Houston and the market seem pretty competitive.

Hi everyone, my name is Ryan. My wife and I moved from California less than a year ago. I want to start investing but have a couple of specific problems. I actually live in Alvin, which is south of Houston, and need a new personal residence this summer. I am leaning towards renting so I can save my capital for investing but buying is so much cheaper.
Also I have a little capital to start but I am not sure if I should do SF or small MF. I think I am ready to jump into SF but MF is ultimately the end goal. I do work but want to go invest full time. If I buy and hold SF can I pay cash, rehab and re-fi back into a mortgage? I would I be better to do a few homes for experience?
Everyone here is so helpful, thank you all for all the free education that I have gained here.
