I talk to hundreds of investors every year who: [list]Have been thinking about investing Have been reading about investing Have a friend who had done well investing (The elusive friend) Are saving for a down payment Waiting for rates to go down Waiting to finish their real estate course Waiting for their mentor to tell them to buy Waiting for summer (insert any season) Waiting for the market to straighten out Waiting till they can afford it Waiting till they get a promotion Waiting till their friend or relative can partner with them Trying to read just one more book Waiting till they buy their own house Waiting till they get a raise Waiting to graduate from college Waiting till their friend or family member becomes a realtor Waiting to be married Waiting till they contribute their maximum to a 401k Waiting till they get done working on their own home [/list:u]Then after giving me their excuse for waiting they ask [list]What happens if the toilet gets clogged?

I know of investors who have lost their entire equity in a property that was paid off because of infractions when selling with a contract for deed in Texas.I am not willing and in no way would promote or recommend for an investor to walk the fine line for doing lease options in Texas.

Any suggestions on promoting the 4/1?
