How to structure and REI Company
I'm preparing to enter the REI world, looking to close my first deal before the end of 2023. My goal is a combination of STR and LTR, investing mostly for cashflow. My question is-- What legal structuring do I need to do to make sure that I'm doing this the correct way. In my mind, creating an LLC or S-corp makes the most sense, and I'm guessing that general liability insurance would probably be a good idea to insulate myself from as much liability as possible as a landlord. Anyone else have suggestions or input?
