I met a local investor here who does rehabs and started bird dogging for him and his partner.

On one of the descriptions, it said seller financing available.

i am newbie here as well and read foucus on one topic at a time really read all you can in this forum and join real estate aasociation REI in your hometown and you meet people in the "know" I started last week and in the cal classroom i met mortgage brokers, new people learning the market like me. the seminar leader is nice and very knowledgeable. he met a president at a bank through networking and how beneficial to network with people in REI especially if your looking for reputable vendors.

Apparently they had met a pair of guys in a bar and started to do drugs with them.

So far, I've been asking them: what they think the FMV is, what repairs need to be completed, square footage and acreage, description of house features,why they need to sell if they haven't told me, what their timeline is, what's the lowest amount they'd be willing to take to be done with the stress of owning the house, what their monthly payments and taxes are.What else do I need to ask in this first phone call?

I've joined my local REIA and have met a couple of people there who may?

I suppose that could be made to work, *BUT* I don't think I want "Fund Manager" (with all its attendant hassles and risks ) to become my job description.

Yes I live in Houston, I should have been more descriptive.

Not too sure experience level but from the description it sounds like a quick rehab.
