@Christopher Brown the question of legal entity is (obviously) a legal question, and if you're going to do real estate you'll need to form a relationship with a real estate attorney anyway, so I'd recommend you find a good real estate attorney (I can recommend a few in RI if you don't know any) and ask her/him.As a "general rule", for an active business with earned income such as wholesaling, an S corporation (either an actual corporation or LLC taxed as an S-corp) is commonly recommended, and a flow-through entity such as a single member LLC, partnership LLC or trust is commonly recommended for holding rental properties (rental income).There are subtleties between the right entity for legal protection, and for tax effectiveness, and the right answer for you and your situation might not be the right answer for someone else, so it's really a good idea to consult with an attorney and tax advisor about your specific situation and plans.
