We made a great decision!

A few months ago we decided to create an IRA - LLC to purchase rental income property. I did quite a bit of research on the subject and decided that the best course for this project was to not just sign up with an Internet based company but rather to consult with an expert. I asked a close attorney f...riend about helping me with this and soon realized that I knew more than he did about the process. At that point we agreed that maybe there was a better option. He consulted with a partner and I was referred to Warren Baker. My wife and I had an initial meeting with Warren where he clearly and concisely laid out the process for creating our entity, In no way did I feel we were being "sold" during this meeting but rather educated by an expert. We decided to retain Warren that evening. Warren provided us with a step by step guide to follow. He also was hands on in creating the LLC and filing documents for us with the State of Washington and the IRS. Warren was very prompt in answering any questions we had via numerous email or phone calls. We felt that Warren's fees were reasonable and the terms of payment were very fair. If you are going to create this type of entity and want to stay out of trouble in doing so we highly recommend Warren.
