Do you think their is any way that I could set my first purchase property up as a business investment by incorporating self as a business.

That said, sometimes I do pay it, as time does not always permit and I incorporate that cost into my budget.I am not really sure if one way is better than the other, I just know how I prefer to operate.

Can anyone speak to the pros, cons and difficulties of the various forms of incorporation in this context?

I read somewhere where landlords have charged a $20/month as additional rent for each pet instead of a pet deposit.Try to protect yourself as much as you can to incorporate the tenants to pay for any damages caused by their dog.

I hate to get graphic here, but I can't imagine someone, especially a child creating a crap that could not be flushed in a decently maintained toilet.

We have been collaborating via Podio, so I am doing better at incorporating the systems that my business will need to help me reach the goals I have set for the near future.

@Naseer Khan you may be right but it was my interpretation of the CA LLC law below (bolded for the citation I am referring to):Under California law, all LLCs are required to annually file a California tax return and pay at least an $800 California franchise tax if they: Engage in any transaction in California for the purpose of financial gain or profit.Are incorporated or organized in California.Have qualified or registered to do business in California.Are “doing business” in California, whether or not they incorporated, organized, qualified or registered under California law.The Franchise Tax Board (“FTB”) takes the position that an LLC organized in a jurisdiction outside California is nevertheless “doing business” in California if: It is a member of an LLC that does business in California.It is a general partner in a partnership that does business in California.Any of the LLC’s members, managers, or other agents conducts business in California on behalf of the LLC.In addition, an out-of-state LLC is “doing business” in California if: The LLC is commercially domiciled in California (i.e., California is the place where realistic control of the LLC’s functions is centered).Sales, including sales by the LLC’s agents and independent contractors, in California exceed the lesser of $500,000 or 25% of the LLC’s total sales.Real or tangible property of the LLC in California exceeds the lesser of $50,000 or 25% of the LLC’s total real and tangible property.The amount paid in California by the LLC for compensation exceeds the lesser of $50,000 or 25% of the total compensation paid by the LLC

Does the boiler system incorporate hot water for the unit?  

It was also purchased as an FHA so it was not incorporated.

Country clubs typically strive for privacy and exclusivity, so incorporated hotels are rare and generally small (intended for member's visitors, perhaps).
