I have read about individuals opening 2 LLC's and an S Corp, however with me being brand new to this and not at a rental stage, I am wondering what is my best option?

@Dave Stevens Residential loans are for individuals, Not corporations.

The bank gave me a line of credit to buy, rehab and then refinance small homes with them into individual portfolio loans....

Best I can tell from previous posts on the site is that if you are having a problem with your DTI ration transfer properties to an "entity"(this is the usual word choice with little insight into what kind of entity the poster is referring to) However, when you dig a little deeper, it seems to be that even if you own property in an LLC if you sign a personal guarantee (which they pretty much always make you do* it all falls to you in individual, and therefore counts against your personal DTI ratio, which at least for this, seems to defeat the purpose.* it seems if you have an LLC with 2 years of tax returns, you can actually have the business get the mortgage, and not have to sign a personal guarantee.

It is individuals like you that afford us our many freedoms. 

Love and appreciate this platform, many great individuals and alike minds.
