But what separates the top investors and house buyers from those who quit?

She has quite a bit of experience regarding investment real-estate purchases.

Texas is definitely a strong market, but keep in mind that high property taxes can eat into your cash flow.

I have noticed quite a few posters lately that are requesting help, opinions, prices and information on their properties where a good answer would require either the square footage, the location or both....and they provide neither.

I have already spent quite a bit on attorney's fees myself. 

There are opportunities out there but some strategies are risky. 1 - Airbnb (STR) comes to mind - very competitive, very saturated and becoming highly regulated.2 - Most STRs are transitioning to MTR so that market will be saturated soon if it isn't already.3 - Insurance crisis in florida is getting bad so those costs will eat up cashflow and short term appreciation.

Yearly increasing costs will, in time, eat up any profit they have per unit.

I'm not quite sure as i've never been in this situation before, just throwing an idea out there. 

I've done quite a few. 

I just came across the idea, but don’t quite understand how it works or if it would be worth pursuing.
