I bought several (rental) town houses and paid one off. This was formed into an LLC for assets protection as I paid it off. Now I’d like to pay down another and refinance with the equity from the LLC. Am I able to do ...

I've been planning to invest in a property to rent it out and I'm not sure whether it would be better to do so as a corporation or a sole proprietor.

As of right now and until I'm able to make money wholesaling, I'll be a sole proprietor.

I'm not examining what amount or percentage is RC, just whether 100% is ever appropriate.In order to do this we must examine and understand the dynamic that occurs when a sole proprietor incorporates.Let’s use an example we’re all familiar with and love…the tax pros on this thread that is.

My wife is a realtor (sole proprietor ) and has $0 income so far.

I've been contemplating forming my LLC as sole proprietor to continue to buy more properties in Ohio as a side business and hobby.I made the mistake of buying my first property by selling $19k in stocks.

Also, since you mention you borrowed under your LLC, if the interest received was from a corporation, partnership, trust, estate, association, or company (other than a sole proprietor) even if an individual is a coborrower and all the trustees, beneficiaries, partners, members, or shareholders of the payer of record are individuals, then the lender is exempt. 

Should I form an LLC or initially begin as a sole proprietor?

One option is operate in your own name as a sole proprietor and count on insurance for liability protection.

Ask them about using a Series LLC for short term flipping.That being said its always best to do business as an entity not a sole proprietor for many reasons.
