Sole proprietor of Holistic REI. 

That is, the tax liability is the same whether or not an entity is in place.For property flipping, there is a point where an S-corp will shelter some income from self-employment income taxes, but, there are no other tax benefits to be gained by having the S-corp versus doing business as a sole proprietor. 

As a sole proprietor, I've acquired 3 homes all cash, then performed a cash out so I'm pretty familiar with what a mortgage company expects in this situation.How does it change for an LLC?  

My credit was ran 4/21 and I only did the short app I’m a sole proprietor. 

I prefer property owner or proprietor.

Business, I never went to college, but is something as a sole proprietor i do wish i went to college to get more out of. with a business degree you will learn how to be able to run any business you start, efficiently. 

So either sole proprietors or people who don't have their business setup properly may use their SSN.

Go Sole Proprietor or....

I have also seen people filing partial rental income on a schedule C Sole proprietor tax form as if they were running a business.  

Not a lawyer, but I have read a lot about how single proprietor LLCs can easy be discarded based on how they are handled.
