Flips are taxed as active income, so you’re usually better off starting under your personal name or a simple LLC taxed as a sole prop, then forming an S Corp once you get consistent deal flow and profits.

Goal is to make real estate main source of income and sights are on best cash returns while building a portfolio.  

The sole reason I chose Atlanta as my out of state preference was because of my boots on ground.

But now I feel like I'm just looking at numbers and solely going by my realtor's word, as I don't know how to analze a deal, or market.

Be sure to review your state laws to determine whether entity grouping is permitted—grouping may be allowed, but each LLC would still remain a distinct legal entity.For ownership structure, you may add a partner or operate as a sole proprietor within the LLC framework; however, I do not recommend using an S corporation for real estate properties.

To me I would focus on the multifamily solely (2-4 units).
