@Dan Barli thanks for the advice!

Instead, we are putting this out, with proper contingencies (inspection, appraisal, financing, etc.) to give confidence to the seller that you intend to buy at your stated terms, barring any unexpected hurdles covered by your contingencies--which can ethically be negotiated should they arise. 

@Dan Barli actually I went to a Than Merrill Real Estate class today.

I'm likely to bring in many accounts over the years with other clients, friends and family, so if you know a guy that sounds right for me, please let me know.Side note: I'd really rather avoid the section 8 scene, but I'm not staunch against it.Oh... and my property is in south Dallas (a little below the Dallas zoo).

Thanks Dan Barli, tried that and it seems to have paid off

Thank you @Dan Barli @Isaac Barrow @Robert Ellis For your guys input I will definitely take these responses into consideration.

An area in which there are lots of restaIrants / bars and turnIng trendy rapIdly wIth lots of old buildings in the area that can be converted.

New to the writing a question scene.

If you plan to be an owner occupant then I would suggest you look for properties through Homepath and Homesteps because they have an initial 20 day first look period where investors are barred (in theory) from making offers.

I own and operate a woodworking business building tables and bars and very custom items for clients.
