I always advise to run a business for 3-6 months without an entity to see if it something you are making money in and something you want to continue doing.Once you have 3-6 months of activity, you have more information to provide to an accountant regarding income so he can provide suggestions on entity type.Best of luck

In other words held for steady cash flow.My VARIABLE (note) PORTFOLIO consists of more active/speculative notes - non performing notes I purchased at discount to principal owed; notes I hope to “work” for enhanced ROI, real property I “purchased” with a leaseback option to repurchase, and defaulted notes I purchased planning on eventually taking ownership of the real estate, as well as notes I created that don’t have current payments but provide a guaranteed return plus an equity “kicker” when the property is sold.
