DBA and EIN

Happy New Year!

I am a newbie getting started in wholesaling. I plan to move on to rehab/flipping and rentals once I have completed some wholesale deals and feel comfortable with the process.

I am starting out wholesaling by using a DBA, but once I get into other RE investing, I plan to form a LLC. My question is, should I get an EIN to use with my DBA now? Would it be beneficial? Or, should I just wait until I form the LLC?

Once I form the LLC, I will still use the DBA, but I am going to switch it to the LLC instead of using it with my individual name.
