I'm wondering if wholesaling land deals is particularly common, and if so, if there are any notable distinctions between wholesaling land and wholesaling a traditional residential or commercial property? 

Utilising the knowledge and experience of local specialists to understand the distinct elements of each market.

The fact that he was unable to see the distinction between giving your SS# for a loan and using a part of it for my client ID ticked me off. 

Anyway just was a little amused at your thought of a realtor and a wholesaler being distinctly different when in fact they are exactly a like only the wholesaler has a much smaller amount of inventory to work with.

I look at it this way.. you have 2 distinct things going on here.. you have those that have a different chosen field / JOB  other than anything to do with real estate but feel rentals or some type of cash flow real estate is their goal to become independent of owning their own business or working for someone else.. 

So just think about it, any strategy taken by them has a distinct/significant advantage, mathematically/statistically/logistically over anything that the USA can possibly achieve in the realm of sequestering/mitigating/testing 300+ million.

When you start mixing and matching your personal name and the LLC then there is no longer any distinct separation and a court will treat them as the same entity which means if sued they can come after everything.

Your satisfier pays list price and accepts things as long as their basic criteria are met.I think as long as you're sure they can come up with the rent reliably, choosing to rent to a maximizer versus a satisfier isn't a distinction that will make you more profit.

And I'd draw a distinction between total amount, what you want to keep for reserves, what you want to use as a down payment, etc.

If the contractor/partner is bringing in capital to the deal, you may want to consider a structure where he/she plays two distinct roles.
