As for deals being everywhere....that might be true, yet I have not been able to master the art of finding them.

Hi Kevin,I have a current deal, close to Bishop Arts, are you still looking to partner in Dallas?

Yes, communicating is more of an art than a science.

Many of these people see wholesaling as a stepping stone to something better in real estate, but I have been in REI for about four years and I couldnt tell you more than five sentences on wholesaling and that it is really a fine art mastered by a small few who have been doing it for a long time and who probably did some other type of job (agent, mortgage, or title work) before they jumped in.

Thanks Art

These owners responded, I paid them the $100 and paid the back taxes (which were very minimal).Art - it's a residential development.

In an effort to lighten the topics in here away from political discussion a bit, and to deal with a practice that appears to be getting popular I'd like to make an observation on the unfortunate demise of David Carradine.I have come to the conclusion that, as a man (especially as a martial arts action star), it is your responsibility that if you participate in auto-erotic asphyxiation, you are required to make a suicide note....just in case.

Hey Thomas, first post, welcome to BP, you should introduce yourself in the new member forum.BP is the best site I've found to learn the art of successful RE investing.

But, it's a cool idea.....Still, IMO, I'd put functions that did not require natural light in the basement, maybe like the bar, an art gallery uses artificial light, sports shops, list is endless, anyway it can be retail, first floor is your anchor store or activity, or residential and the top floor upscale apartment/condos, keeping with the flavor of the area.
