Any other ideas for the best corporate structure for this planned endeavor?

We're planning a trip this spring.

Hey Joshua,I'm currently in the throws of a development project in Brooklyn, and the $300 a sf model is a little light, especially if you plan on decent finishes. 

Paying debt down is a bad move if you plan on inflation which we do.  

I’m not promising a fairy tale, but if you want guidance from someone who’s spent late nights haggling with contractors, tweaking staging plans, and emailing roofers at odd hours, well, I’m here.

If you plan on buying these properties using a mortgage its also best to begin the pre approval process and work with an investor friendly lender to help guide and educate you what the best product might be for your projects to make sure you dont already max out your borrowing power after the first deal.

My advice would be to put together a solid plan.

Main questions should ask about the seller's:- Reasons/Motivations for wanting to sell- Desired timeline to close- Plan's after selling (relocation, reinvesting proceeds, 1031 exchange, etc)- Back-up plan in case they are unable to sell within the desired timeline- Reasons for not already selling to/with a investor or RealtorAdditional questions will depend on the type of seller lead i.e. pre-foreclosure, probate, fsbo, absentee owner, etc.Here is an example of a youtube search you can use to begin finding call recordings.There are 1,000s and you'll find that the best/most effective ones don't even sound like sales calls.

@Lorenzo Lopez That's a solid plan. 

do you plan to live in it / house hack it, or will it be a rental?
