I think younger generations are definitely willing and wanting to live closer to work and will go so far as to live in areas they might not have considered otherwise (Deep Ellum, Bishop Arts, Oak Cliff, etc.) as these areas become more appealing through investment. 

So if you have mastered the art of finding a deal and are willing to share your wisdom, plz allow me to learn from you.

Knowing what to use as leverage or to let go is more of an art than a science and it very much depends on the property strategy.

I spent $9.95 on Robert Allen's, "Nothing Down", (when it was first published ;-), $50.00 for a used cassette tape series from Tom Hopkins on "How To Master the Art of Selling"$100 for a used Carlton Sheets Audio CD series (I forget the title)$19.95 for "The Pre-foreclosure Property Investor's Kit" by Lucier, $18.95 for "Making Big Money Investing in Foreclosures" by Conti & Finkel, spent multi-thousands of dollars in advertising doing pre-foreclosures and fix & flips and making a cool mil in profit, in addition $1,599 for John Burley's (2) 3 day live sessions (6 days total) on "Creative Financing" including CD's and contracts, (which was awesome and well worth it, but then, I actually apply the information.

Guiding the seller to your outcome while making them feel like they are in control is certainly an art.

Thank you,Art
