I am new to Real Estate Investing. I’ve been researching about Wholesaling for the past few months. I haven’t actually started yet because I want to join a REI Club to build up my buyers list before I begin. My question to anyone out there who is a seasoned Investor or has knowledge, do I need to have a registered business name, DBA or LLC to get started in REInvesting? I don’t have a mentor yet to ask my questions because of the cost so I’m trying to start with Wholesaling first.
Your response would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Joyce,
No, you don’t need a business name, LLC, or any other entity to do REI. I use entities primarily for asset protection, but you may not need this until you have some assets to protect.
Good Luck,
Mike
Thanks Mike I appreciate your response. I want to create a web site and use business cards. I came up with a name to use and was not sure if I needed to register a trade name since I will be primarily focusing on wholesale. I’m trying to get established so when I respond to buyers and sellers, they see me as a professional Real Estate Investor.
Any additonal advice I can get would greatly be appreciated. Thanks again Mike. :smile
