I do not know what state you are in but for my state which is NC I typed in the search engine NC secretary of state and what I got was www.secretary.state.nc.us/corporations and then clicked on Corporations Home it directed me to where I needed to go and what to do.

The first issue is whether you want to be a corporation or Limited Liability Company. Check my web site www.taxesq.com for a free Choice of Entity determination. The presumption in most states is for the entity to be a LLC.\n\nI hope this helps!\n\nRonald J. Cappuccio, J.D., LL.M. (Tax)\nCounsellor at Law

You file your articles with the Texas Secretary of State.  Forms are available at TX SOS website (see link below) and I'm sure the mailing address is on the form or elsewhere on the site.  There will be a filing fee, I don't know what Texas' is off the top of my head, they're typically anywhere from $50-300.  You're going to need an Employer Identification Number, go to IRS website (click on link below) and fill in the online Form SS-4.  Also, any corporation needs to have bylaws, just Google "texas bylaws forms" and see if you can get some for free.  And, finally, use your EIN to open a separate bank account for the corporation, very important to keep personal and business funds separate.

That depends on the function of your organization.  You seem to have everything underway, so I would suggest you petition for a 501-C3 tax form so you can be tax excempt after you incorporate and be on your way.

1.  You will need a REAL ESTATE CONTRACT, suggest a Real Estate Agent might help for a few dollars to write one for you.\n\n2.  You need an AMORTIZATION TABLE, (creating a mortgage) which Excel can help with, look up downloads on MS Excel.\n\nThis can be attached to a "Promisory Note" or you could do it as a "land contract" or "bond for a deed."\n\n3.  You will need Notarized Signatures.  Banks and Lawyers have notaries.\n\n4.  You will need to record the Mortgage at the county Registry of Deeds, along with the promisory note.\n\nGiven how important these papers are, and how difficult things can be if the buyer skips payments, you should have a lawyer check it all over, or just pay to have it written in the first place.

Fictitious name/business name registration would suffice. Businesses, even the smallest home-based operations, are required to register with either their city or county. Check with your city or county office the procedures in filing for business registration.\n\nLicenses are for specific businesses (e.g. restaurant, daycare) and marketing businesses are not often asked to apply for licenses. But to be sure, contact your county and ask for the requirements. On the Web, you can start by going to your Secretary of State website, which often have the information on how to start a business in your area.\n\nGenerally, businesses need an Employer Identification Number (EIN) or federal tax identification number. The EIN is used to identify a business entity such as a corporation, LLC, or partnership. Sole proprietorships that need to pay federal excise of employment taxes are required to get an EIN. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) web site at http://www.irs.ustreas.gov/businesses/small/article/0,,id=98350,00.html contains all the information you need about EIN and how to apply for an EIN electronically.\n\nA business that sells any tangible item is required to get a sales and use tax license. Sales and use tax that applies to the retail purchase, retail site, rental, storage, use or consumption of tangible personal property and certain services vary between states. Check with your state Comptroller office for the requirements and procedures in getting a sales tax number.\n\nAnother thing to consider is zoning permit, especially for home-based business. This is especially important if clients will be going to your home. While many home based entrepreneurs get away with not having to file zoning permits, the litmus test is often the neighbors. If a neighbor complains, then that's when the zoning board typically steps in.

Form an LLC at the very least, if not a corporation. An LLC has tax benefits for you, too. Whatever you do, do NOT put it all into the hands of one of the individuals without this type of contract in place. Spend the money to go to an attorney who specializes in real estate. You won't regret it. I know plenty who didn't want to spend the money and ended up in a horrible mess.

It depends on where you are located, if you are going to lease your own office or will you simply work from home, and the requirements of your city/county business offices.\n\nIf you are in the Los Angeles area, for example, you will be required to get the following  if you are starting a janitorial business (if it applies to your situation):\n\nBusiness License (Business Tax Certificate)\nBurglar Alarm Permit\nFire Department Permit - Fire Protection\nLand Use Permit\nZoning Approval\nFictitious Name Filing (DBA)\nAir Tanks Permit\nCorporation, Company or Partnership Filings (if considering)\nIndustrial Activities Storm Water General Permit\nSales & Use Permit (Seller's Permit)\nState EPA Identification Number\n\nThe point is that the licenses you need may be as simple or as complicated depending on the requirements of your city/county. Call them up or visit them and ask them the requirements you need to start a janitorial company.

Easiest way to get it follow the advice they've already given you here. Either on line or with broker's company and you'll have it in a few months.\n\nThe RIGHT way, study & get eduated!\n\nI would NOT suggest you take ANY classes from ANY RE company because all they teach you is to memorize certain things and memorize the questions so you can answer them correctly during your exam. This way you can start making money for the company.\n\nI personally think you will be doing a diservice to the community if you go this route.\n\nI suggest you research your local community college or University that offers these classes. The instructors there DONT have a financial interest on you passing the exam so you can make them money. These instructors are either currently in the business or have been in the business before.\n\nAfter you get your license there are still classes you can get at school.\n\nFor EXTRA information, the training classes your local Association of Realtors offers or may be even your RE company, they will teach you about the contracts & more.\n\nSo all and all study and get the right education.

If you choose to stay a sole proprietorship, any and all liabilities go straight through to you personally.  Your home and all your assets can be seized if a judgment is obtained against you.  The same for being a general partner in a partnership.  A corporation is clumsy for a home-based business, is expensive to set up, and "piercing the corporate veil" is easy if anyone decides to sue you, UNLESS you've been super-meticulous about keeping records, holding shareholder meetings, director meetings and so forth and keeping written minutes (records) of those meetings.  It's easy with a personally owned corp., for someone suing you to argue that it's just a sham corp., the owner's alter-ego.  The corporate veil has thereby been pierced; you're worse off than if you'd never filed an Articles Of Incorporation.\n\nAn LLC is the way to go: unlike Corp., your income is not subject to double taxation.  But LEARN about these at Borders Books or Barnes & Noble first, before filing an L.L.C. "Articles Of Organization" with your state.  In my state, it costs $ 125. to do that, plus filing what's called a "Docketing Statement."  Learn from spending a few evenings in these bookstores (and perhaps investing in a couple of the better books, found in the Business And Money Management area of the store) what you need to know and how the finances of an L.L.C. will need to be looked-after.  You will probably be REQUIRED by your state, to have the words "Limited Liability Corporation" or "L.L.C." in your business's legal name.  That will necessitate a new business license, or at least a change of name on your existing license.  Do it right, and an L.L.C. will keep you safe in the event of a claim.  This (structure as an L.L.C.) is no substitute for general liability insurance; carry that as well.  ecommrc at yahoo dot com Jack Nelson Harrisburg, PA

I would go to a stationary store that specialize in legal forms.  You want to make sure that your lease conforms with the laws of your particular city and state.  I use American Legal Forms, Inc.  They are legal supply specialists and professional printing and have everything from leases to five-day-notices, etc.  Attorneys obtain their forms from this company.  Their website is www.americanlegalforms.com.\n\nGood Luck!

Legal forms are generally available at the nearest law library.\n\nPerhaps you should seek the advice of an attorney before proceeding.

Just start calling  local real estate agents.   Most will be a little reluctant at first because most agents already have loan officers they prefer.  Take the approach that you want to help them with their open house.  Offer to bring fresh baked cookies to the open house, then once you’re there offer to go get lunch for the both of you.  I know this sounds like a lot of hoops to jump thru, but remember you have to sell your self to the agent if you want them to send business your way.  \nI wish you the best of luck.

Yes there is an advantage to creating a limited liability company.  As one of the other answers says, if someone slips and falls, the LLC gets sued and not you.  However, the loan you have on the property is probably signed by you personally, and if you lose the house and have the mortgage, it does still hurt you.\n\nBut the advantage is it limits the loss to one house instead of putting all your assets on the line.  You should also have a different LLC manage your buildings in case there is negligence in not doing some repairs.  LLC's will not protect you from negligence, but the more you put in front the more you are protected.  I usually tell people, don't do anything stupid.\n\nOne thing to remember, in most states, if an LLC owns the rental property, you HAVE to have an attorney file the eviction.  most landlords do it themselves to save money.  The state of ohio recently mandated that if an LLC owns the property, an attorney has to be used.  Not direct point, but that's essentially what it said.  As for other states, I would guess they are similar.\n\nGood luck and rental property is a good way to go

Very complete source for every & @ll legal procedures; i liked what i briefly saw. (fyi) you may go directly to State Dept to start filing your Limited Liability Partnership,[at least here in my jurisdiction]co. even w/out notarizing, but if you want to make it that way, perfect; You may also consider an Incorporation since the benefits are extent on behalf of both partties-you as a service/professional provider or licitator and clients/co's that contracts you; If you incorporate and your customers dissagree and start any litigation for insatisfaction against you as resident agent[official incorporator] your private assets  / properties, house, land, personal vehicles won't be in risk, only the assets under corporation will be the ones to respond. Plus you will have higher financial rate when incorporated since corporation acquires its own juridical personality-versus you as an individual in a  Limited Society-partnership.
