For instance - I am looking to see if anyone has experience with installing recessed lighting into a horse hair plaster ceiling and if anyone could offer advice on the process I should take when doing so? 

I made a relatively low offer and after one negotiation we settled on a price that was about 45% lower than the original list price.

Some ideas I've considered:Equity Buyout: Having another investor or my partner buy out my 40% equity.Seller Financing: Selling my equity and offering seller financing to the buyer.Selling the Property: Liquidating the property entirely and splitting the proceeds.Does anyone have experience with situations like this?

Joining investor meetups in your area can also help you build relationships with experienced investors who may offer mentorship or even potential partnerships.Finally, don’t underestimate the power of letting people know your plans.

@Jaedon Stout - I assume the 0% interest option comes from some credit offering or credit card offering....

They used to offer exclusive properties but now it appears that they are pulling MLS listings and will connect you with an agent.

You will find that lenders will reach out to you and try to ally alongside you (I know I have received a few emails and phone calls from different lenders trying to offer their services) but few are willing to 'teach' you.

I’m drawn to the endless opportunities the Texas market offers and am committed to building my knowledge and skills to make smart, strategic investments.Right now, I’m focused on understanding the basics—everything from evaluating properties and navigating financing to learning about the unique aspects of the Texas real estate market.

Very excited to meet like minded people and see what I have to offer. 

Squatters are a real problem nationally and a study found that they target not only vacant properties but those advertised for rent or sale that offer 'immediate occupancy.'
