I also want to and am incorporating an eco friendly approach to my property.

I would like to incorporate before getting into dealing so i can officially do business as the company (marketing, selling, dealing) so the question i have is what state is good to incorporate (i am thinking of an LLC) from the viewpoints of taxation, privacy/anonymity, asset protection, annual fees?

Did you incorporate your business with an LLC?

I didn't realize my inclination to do things my way, which doesn't really work in corporate America, is EXCELLENT if you want to charge ahead of the pack.

The market was overpriced during the tail end of that period (right before the bubble), musical chairs were played by buyers who didn't know any better, and many folks got left out when the music stopped.

When the inner workings of the economy change so rapidly, much like the game of musical chairs, there are many participants who are left without a chair when the music stops.In this new economy that we are in the midst of, which monster corporations will suffer their fate next?

I've always been interested in becoming financially successful - and after an undergraduate, and masters degree - I realize my best opportunity is NOT in corporate America :) I've always been a reader on finance, investing, real estate - so this is a match made in heaven.I'm going to be buying my first home in the next 12 months - so I'm hoping I can make a wise decision that could also double as an investment now, or down the road.

I've incorporated many different ways to find motivated sellers and owners of run down houses.

If anyone has any advice or anything I should incorporate in my plan please free to share.

It's always worth incorporating into your offer if you aren't worried about competitive bids for that particular property.
