Here are my thoughts:-can't be too close to the ocean, sea level is rising rapidly-Ideally it'd be nearby (I live in Virginia) so somewhere on the east coast that I could drive back and forth to-Once I graduate, I was going to move to TX or NV and get involved in real estate there.

I have had my tenants in past make small fixes to the property(depending on their skill level).

Incorporating can certainly save you on taxes depending on your income level.

I would speak to a local investor who has a level head and see where they think the real estate market is going.

So I'm trying to plan a strategy to take my residual monthly income to another level. 

@Brian Burkewhat are you seeing for investors appetite in a deal where the sponsors ownership % exceeds their level of capital contribution?

Union City is not at that level yet.

@Jay McCrearyIt isn't an entry level skill set.Get your Realtor's license instead.  

However, at your experience level, you may want to team up with an experienced wholesaler in your area to help you work your leads when you get them so that you handle them properly. 

But I get the feeling that the "Incorporation Specialist" is more of a frontline employee, so they're definitely not at the same level as an attorney.
