Investment biz format

[Kyle Callahan]

Hi -

I'm new at REI. I'm just setting up now. I have a small architectural practice (an S corp) and need to isolate my REI endeavors. I have heard that it is best to set up a master corporation for REI in general, and individual LLC's for properties. Can someone provide me with info or a link to the best setup arrangement? My plan is to start flipping, then fix and flip, then hold, then develop very green, sustainable properties. Any advice or links to good strategy papers would be appreciated. Thanks! k
