Which real estate entity to set up for my rental properties?
I have one single family rental and looking to buy another. I have had trouble finding good advice on the best strategy for setting up an entity to hold my rentals in. Any good books to explain exactly which states to set things up in and which entities (LLC, S-Corp, Etc...)?

@Phillip Scalise. My advice would be you don’t need any entities. Hold the propeties in your own name.
