Hi @Travis Salley, Not a great goal if you'd like to stay independent (no equity partners).

The result may have been different had the investor required the homeowner to see independent legal counsel regarding the initial transactions to prevent claims of ‘over reaching’ and ‘duress.’" 

Bret Kingcade you’re probably overthinking this.Contact the title company independently, not through an agent.

https://www.bisnow.com/dallas-ft-worth/news/capita...David, in regards to waiting, I published this article on the BP blog just last week:https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/why-im-bu...In regards to the IRR, I agree.

I'm using real estate as an ends to financial independence, and that freedom as the means to an end in community and social entrepreneurship.

It would help my growth (and progress toward financial independence) to have his capital to play with but I want to be sure and make a deal that benefits everyone. 

You are now FIRE (Financially Independent through Real Estate).

I've learned a ton from BP and reading many of the books published by BP members.  

Yes you’re an independent contractor but you’ll want to have that discussion just to be up front with them.

It looks like the event itself cannot be edited after it has been published.
