LLC Entity Before Wholesaling
This, I believe, has been a much-discussed topic, however, couldn't find a solid answer and would simply like some reassurance.
So, I'm looking to start wholesaling, eventually getting into other strategies of REI at a later date, but am curious how wise it would be to create an LLC prior to wholesaling. Now granted, I've heard two circumstances here:
Circumstance A: Create an LLC to use on the contracts so as to limit any personal liability.
Circumstance B: No need to create an LLC as wholesalers typically do not hold any property or possessions long enough for a suit to incur. (Not really sure how this is, but I've read this on a couple posts around BP)
Conclusively, I considered just doing an LLC prior to doing wholesaling to limit my liability as, contraire to Circumstance B, if I were to put my name on a contract, it could still open a gateway to personal liability.
Would love input and feedback on this matter.
