As I'm scaling to larger buildings (we do buy and hold) I now want to incorporate for the tax savings and protection.

The amount of debt incorporated into a capital stack is commonly referred to as leverage.Debt investors benefit from a repayment priority and typically have the ability to foreclose on the collateral if the borrower defaults, therefore it is not as risky an investment as the investment of the equity investors.

Putting most of the money down and in what form besides just security is a factor but it’s actual use and any other physical activity through beginning and to the end.

Maybe not physical upgrades, but just tightening up the numbers such as increasing rents/lowering expenses?

It may be true that on occasion someone may still need to physically visit a home.

I think "hear say" won't go very far without physical evidence the kids are taking and vandolizing her things. 

. $20/hr is not unreasonable for physically demanding jobs.

Do most wholesalers do business over the phone/emails or should I expect to physically go out and connect with my deals?

In NY a RE attorney was required - provided the contract, title co, and his staff hosted the closing.while in CA, the Escrower did most all the paperwork, including ordering title & closingLender's (if applicable) attorney would also advise additional requirementsMost important seemed where will the Closing physically happen, depending on situation?

I don’t know how low DOM can physically go, since they have to list it, get an offer, look for better offers, accept the offer, then record the offer.
