    What is your investment approach -- buy and hold for income, or, flipping for profit?

    flipping for profit at first and then holding

    As a general rule, flipping for profit is best accomplished in an S-Corp that has you as an employee.

    As a general rule, holding for rental income is best accomplished in an LLC

    Another question,...I've already formed an LLC for REI and am a beginner. I've already closed on a house that I will flip in March to jump start my capital. Would it be more advantageous to focus the LLC around managing investment rental properties and continue flipping under my own name?

    Is there any tax disadvantage to doing this?

    Thanks!
