Set up a DBA or new LLC?

[Hector Toro]

Hello everyone!

I am a newbie to real estate investing and still working on getting my first deal under my belt. I have read through the forums and other sites about forming a LLC or looking to start one as you get going. I currently have an LLC setup for my current employment which has nothing to do with real estate investing. My question is, would it be better to start a new LLC specific to my real estate investing path or should I look at doing a DBA while still using the entity's official name on all government documents?

Thanks!

Hector
