Hello,I am looking for a real estate attorney (preferably with a national presence) and CPA that has an office in Maryland.  

If not, you need to start networking to get some good referrals.Get advice from an attorney and CPA on how to best structure  your business entity based on your individual and collective situations. 

So again it's up to the individual investors specific set of circumstances, goals, and their tolerance level for debt. 

My state doesn't allow an unlicensed individual to be compensated.

I’m curious to know what pros and cons, pearls and pitfalls exist for 10-15 unit MFH deals that involve a collection of individual houses from one development... as opposed to the apartment building type of MFH.

I want to get my foot in the door now that I have had exposure to wholesaling I want to not just work individually but amongst a team and find a group of people that can take me in and learn even more.

If you are the only individual in the LLC it is considered a disregarded entity for tax purposes. 

Nothing appeals to everyone, however among the following, my wife and I have a strong preference over the personal  'yuck' factor in of the other. 

I much prefer a SEC 8 tenant in a sketchy neighborhood or street, because finding someone who both verifiable and reliable income that meets my incomes X rent requirement is tough, and one life bump will cause the rent to go unpaid.  

Yes, the first step is to connect to a local lender - preferably one who does up front underwriting - and find out how much you will qualify for and how much down payment you will need.
