Once we get through this high-level conversation, we can determine if wholesaling is the right activity to leverage to build your ideal stream of income. 

Ideally, they have experience with electrical, HVAC, plumbing and management. 

I totally agree it would be ideal to buy in my back yard.

What is your ideal long term goal with real estate investing?

Ideally, investing locally would totally be something we'd prefer to do.

Ideally I'd like to have the corporation pay expenses directly or it will look like income if it is transfered to me or some kind of expense reimbursement both of which would be taxable personally. 

Tenants pay the rest and ideally, as much of all this as possible, right.

Even if an appraisal were to fall short of ideal, its not likely to matter.

The ideal combination IMO is a business that generates cash flow and then investing that cash flow it into A and B real estate assets.I just recently met a guy who had held and self-managed class D portfolio for 40 years and he can't retire, he has nothing to show for.

Ideally, this line of credit would be structured at a set interest rate with interest only payments for a period of 60 months.
