Formal Business Set-up - When?

[Glenn Jackson]

I am new to real estate investing and am currently interested in real estate wholesaling. I am in Texas, in the greater Houston market.

My question is do I need to create a formal Business entity before starting to make wholesale deals? I know from an accounting / tax perspective this would make things cleaner but I want to get started in finding / making deals. Is this something I can do later or something that I even need to do at all?
