The average company only survives for ten years, while even large companies typically last just 18 years.

I would definitely ask your accountant before making any changes or opening an LLC.

I recommend finding a real estate and business accountant to help you with filing your taxes.Bigger Pockets is a great place to find a real estate tax accountant. 

Does anyone have a service or company they'd recommend for this?

I’m returning to the U.S. after spending a few years overseas, and I’m eager to start my journey in real estate investing.Once I’m back, I have a job lined up with a wholesaling company where I’ll be focusing on buying houses.

@Travis Marko There are several skip tracing companies out there.

And they should have accounts for everything with heavy discounts built in for their quantity buying.

The 1% rule doesn't matter as much if you have a 5-10 year investing horizon because it does not take into account appreciation or other benefits of holding (tax benefits, etc.)The 1% rule stops a lot of folks from getting started. 

Yes, those are the standard fees and pricing you'll find at most PM companies.

Also consider contacting houses that look vacant, simply door knocking in a neighborhood that you are interested in and talking to the homeowners in a genuine way, For Sale By Owners is another potential, using an App like Nextdoor or Facebook pages/groups related to local real estate and just telling the group what you are looking for, contractors also know about houses coming on the market soon and so do property management companies, and finally garage sales are a good way to find off-market properties as people prepare to sell.To Your Success!
