I would like to incorporate and am based in Los Angeles.

From a construction perspective, I would recommend a Hardiplank siding or its equivalent (fiber cement, etc.) for tenant situations if you are going with traditional siding.

In my case I was talking to a friend of my girlfriend's and she offered to share some of her rental forms with me and I took some of those ideas and incorporated them into my own forms, I think this is more realistic and representitive of a mentor relationship.

We are looking to learn more about incorporating and taxes this time and do this right from the beginning!! 

I plan on taking this info and incorporating it into my marketing campaign to find the best deals for the folks that are already doing business in my area. 

I think incorporating them all in your strategy would give the best results.

Ethics aside, he did what any savvy business person would. protection of assets through incorporation.

I decided it is time to jump in with both feet and get started.I have spent the last 17 years in Corporate America (Strategy & Operations) both on and off shore, however I recently decided to branch-off and explore my capabilities in Real Estate.My goals are ultimately to flip homes, however I would like to start in the wholesaling arena and I am open to any person(s) willing to assist me in starting-up.I am seeking a mentor-type individual in the Fort Worth (Keller) area that would be willing to let me tag along with a process to experience the processes first-hand.

Do not fail to incorporate all costs into your calculation.

If later you decide to incorporate the plan can be amended at that time to reflect the change in plan sponsor.
