Any guidance on how to incorporate the appropriate rent rate would be great.

Should I self incorporate?

My attorney who specializes in corporate structuring advised me to do the following, so this is what I did:Email 5 or 10 local lenders asking if you can do this.

If you do not already have a company then I would recommend that you incorporate and use that company for that and so much more. 

It gets even more complicated when you incorporate pets.

For one or two properties this may not be terribly punitive, but if your plan is to grow your property holdings in the U.S.A. over the coming years, you may want the ability to control how and when any revenue is repatriated to Canada ... in this case, you may want an incorporated entity (LLC) in the U.S.A. to "own" the properties {there are pros and cons to this approach as well} which will enable you to keep any retained earnings in the U.S.A. - unless you choose to repatriate them.If you plan on holding properties in Canada as well, depending on your income from other sources, you may want a Canadian company in the mix as well.  

I'm planning on sending them a notepad with my logo on it 4-6 months after initial contact as a reminder also.I am also getting involved with my local Board of Realtors, but many smaller agents who are not full time do not participate much which is why I am trying to target them this way.

Not to be stopped I found a company that would help me with the Incorporating of my Business with help in securing Corporate Lines of Credit.

Here's a list of things that you do not need to be successful in this business: a business name, business cards, a business plan, an entity, a marketing plan, a website, a logo, a brand, an executive summary, a "team" etc, etc, etc.
