Right now you have $1,000 in cash flow that can be used to fund other projects (seed money), pay you in profit to supplement your lifestyle, or fill in any gaps for underperforming properties.

@Malcolm Brown it is great that you are thinking of the money to fund the deals you are going to get started with but understanding what a deal is, I think, should be the starting point. 

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
