I am planning to buy an investment property. All my instincts say that it would be wise to form a compny for that. I am pre approved for a mortage but I have no clue how it works. My question is Mortgage company approved me not the new company that I am planning to form, which I will use to buy the property. How does this technically work can someone help me please ?

Even if you form a company, you will have to use your personal credit until you company is established. Getting a DUNS number will assist in that task. But you must consider if you are going to be a LLC, or and S-Corp, and if someone is going to be a partner, or your business is sole proprietorship.
For purposes of protecting your personal assets, you would want to be and S-Corp, however the cost to do this may be restrictive for you. The cost varies from state to state, in my state, Illinois, it cost almost $500.
You need to consider having a good accountant and attorney as well. Learn how to evict because it will happen. Know your state laws about tenant rights, which vary from state to state.

First check in your area to see if they have CORE (center of retired executives) A group of retired people who volenteer time to help young people get started in business. You will also need to talk to a lawyer to find out the monetary advantages and risks.pp
