Or would it only apply if I was financing more than 5 deals per year?

I have a lady interested in an investment property that I have recently bought. She would like to buy with me owner financing the deal. I apologize and know this has been discussed before, but I didn't find a clear enough answer. Being this isn't my homestead and she isn't a family member, am I prohibited from carrying the note on this property for her. It would be a 5 yr amortized note. Im in Texas. Thank you any clarification

I had thought about just starting out by asking about experiences as a landlord in the area and how it got started.

I spent this past week driving some target neighborhoods in my area. I've compiled a list of 50 or so properties that intrigued me. Over the weekend, I went through organizing the list and researching the property records, owners, etc. There were 5-6 of the properties owned by a single out of town investor. My question is, what would be the best to reach out? I plan on doing repetitive letters to the majority of the properties, but thought it would be best to call him. As an investor, he may be willing to owner carry a property for the continued cash flow. I just want to hear what the BP folks had say based on their experiences. Thank you

I apologize, had some keyboard issues. Aledo is a great place to live, I hope you like high school football. As previously mentioned, there will be a ton of growth here over the next decade.

Very good posts on this thread. This is something I always used to think about. With a few mortgages under 5%(prim res under 3%) I've finally gotten away from thinking early pay down and have to been steering those funds towards additional investments.
