A) Do you apply for efficiency -not sure if there is an application for it-?

I hope it leads to far fewer, more efficient real estate firms that focus on full-time professional agents doing more business at a reasonable rate. 

What's the ideal business structure in Texas for sole-owner, flipping business that offers anonymity, tax efficiency and asset protection?

You can still buy right, rehab efficiently and rent for good rent.

You can potentially find undervalued properties, rehab them efficiently, and achieve good rental income.Decent rents: $1000-$1600 rents provide a strong foundation for positive cash flow after factoring in rehab costs and ongoing expenses.Cons to consider:Market competition: Investigate how many other investors are using BRRRR in Wichita.

You just lose out on the efficiency created by the 1031 structure.   

Sounds like it's possible to buy investment first, but probably more efficient to work on owning my primary.

I am using their in house CRM as it is very efficient and easy to populate deals. 

Here are some of the options we are considering:1) Keep the system basically as is, but update it for greater energy efficiency. - Install two new high efficiency condensing boilers, and update windows and insulation for better heat loss performance.PROS - a) minimally invasive; b) can provide 15-30% reduction in heating costs (we are told).CONS - a)total gas expense is still paid by the landlord; b) individual units won't have individual control (except for a thermostat controlled shutoff valve for heat/water in each unit); c) AC would be available on with in wall/window units. 2) Try to individually meter each units' gas and provide each with a traditional forced air heating/cooling system.PROS: a)gas expense could be completely removed for landlord (huge)- even tankless hot water could be installed in each unit; b) each unit would have their own climate control.CONS: a) constructions costs of running new gas lines and soffiting sheet metal duct work. b) highly invasive with collateral construction costs; c) future costs of maintenance on multiple systems vs a single building-wide system. 3) An electric based heating system- This is tricky in my mind because of the high cost of electric heat.

It's just about efficiencies.1month per annual lease is normal @Amirra Besh you're investing in the greatest city in america.
