I am doing an assignment for a Business course. I need help with a question.

If I owned a real estate investing company, which business structure would I want:

LLC
Corporation
Sole Proprietorship
Partnership

I know I should choose a corporation. I really need help justifying my answer.

This depends on what type of investing your doing and in what state.
Generally use an LLC for rentals and Corp for flips. This is for asset protection as well as tax reasons. There are alot of different ways to set these up, see your CPA or attorney
