LLC taxed as an S-Corp??
Hello everyone. I know this is a huge topic but i never seem to read something and say...yeah thats my situation. So hopefully i can get some recommendations.
So last year i purchased 2 multiplex properties. Didnt know much about real estate and being a landlord. I had talking about it for years just scared to do it. Im in the process of buying my 3rd mutiplex next month. My new CPA recommended me start up a business because my wife and I were "high income earners" which put us in the 28% tax bracket. Should i start up a investment property business LLC and tax it as an S-corp? I want liability coverage and tax benefits. I couldnt write off a lot of my deductions so now they just carry over year to year. I need to do something because if i stay as a sole proprietorship then it will probably kick me into the next tax bracket. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thank you.

Check out Mark Kohler on youtube he is an attorney and CPA covers this topic extensively. @Logan Allec has it correct. You can go to kkoslawyers.com and/or Mark holds a podcast (Refresh Your Wealth) each week with his business partner who specializes in SDRF.
Good Luck.
