Starting Up LLC or S-Corp In Northeast Ohio

[Tom Harrington]

Hey BP! After a bunch of reading here on the forums and blogs and countless books, I've decided that I like the idea of incorporating either with an LLC or S-Corp or perhaps another entity for the added level of personal asset protection. I know for sound legal and tax advice I need to talk to both a CPA and an attorney. My questions are these:

1.  I'm still unsure what type of legal entity would work best for me.  My wife and I are planning to start off with rental properties. Would a CPA or an attorney be better suited to cover/explain the advantages and disadvantages of LLCs vs. S-Corps vs. other legal entity options?

2. Can anyone recommend some questions I should ask this professional to get the most out of my meeting?

3. Can anyone recommend a good CPA or attorney in Canton, Akron, or Cleveland Ohio? 

Thanks in advance everyone for your input!
