Ideally all the hardware should match. 

Ideally I would like a multifamily BRRRR property.

Because you'll have a partner and want a full and thorough OA, an attorney that specializes in contracts and business matters would be ideal.   

There is not any ideal place to add one, unless we squeeze a stackable into the master closet where the doors won't be able to close over it, or an all-in-one washer/dryer unit in the front living area.If we don't add a laundry unit to the rental, the alternative is to allow scheduled access to our laundry room but they have to go through our whole living space to enter, or just not offer one at all.

Ideally everything would remain under my parents name initially if that is the best way to reduce any taxes on the sale.   

@Jacob PereiraHey Jacob, Im not sure about your current investing experience but you can always look just outside your major city limits for something that is only a small percentage of your capital that you can pick up for a deal and go trough that process even if you dont make your ideal ROI, (Dont lose money by any means), but that you can get trough and essentially buy yourself a hands on education.

Ideally, I'd like to use private money as a form of leveraging rather than to use personal capital and risk losing future projects due to lack of liquidity.  

Working summer full time with a larger apartment complex or management firm might be ideal too..Best of luck.

Ideally someone on the ground-there who is trustworthy. 

(Less than an ideal choice)4) a hard money lender that you already have a well established relationship with and can confirm he or she will fund before the auction ( weak choice) Any other type of loan that would require an application and approval is a no go.
