I have yet to incorporate facebook ads.

If you wanted to have the mortgage or property in your personal names, you would not be incorporating.

What I don't buy at auction, I buy at Wal Mart (linens, cookware, utensils, etc).Washer $75.Dryer $75.Stove $100.Fridge $100.2 recliners $50.Tables and lamps $50.Dining table and chairs $50.2 bedroom suites $300.2 old style televisions, free.That's $800.Probably spend $400 at Wal Mart for soft goods.Finally my biggest single expense is the Smart TV for the living room, $250.My tenants work 10-12 hours a day, 6-7 days a week. 

As I think about my long term goals, I want to incorporate and consider my next career move, so that it compliments and supports my goals (pertaining to real estate and financial freedom) and helps me achieve them.

When you say California is bad for cash flow, do you mean immediate cash flow or long term cash flow incorporating appreciation, etc?

Maybe not now, but you will be held accountable.If you are starting a business to run as a real estate firm, with the mindset to eventually hire some employees, and use different strategies to make money, it's best to be incorporated.

If you throw in an accent wall or do the bottom of a chair rail in an accent color it helps a lot.

Put a lawn chair next to the fence you can sit in.  

It could be more if I incorporate creative financing for funding.

FHA does also offer a rehab program that will allow you to incorporate up to 35k to the loan to do home improvements if you do want to buy a home that needs minor work.
