LLC Tax Structure

My husband and I have formed an LLC for our buy and hold real estate business. We currently have 3 rental properties and hope to grow. Which tax structure would be better for us, a partnership or an S-corp? Thanks!

I would keep your 3 properties in the LLC as a disregarded entitity and just report it on your 1040. No real need for an S corp.

Rental income only triggers SE Taxes if you're a real estate professional. If you don't qualify at this point there would be no benefit to paying for filing an S corp return.
