That weighs heavily on jurisdictional requirements. 

For me, the answer would weigh heavily in the choice that I made in the decision about which listing agent to hire. 

Also, it may not be a bad idea to own the property in your own name if you are already heavily leveraged.

Becoming an AU on someone else's card can help as well, but it's weighted less heavily now by some agencies than it was in the past. 

I have been working in real estate for over a decade, but have been heavily focused on the "fix and flip/buy and hold" market for the last 5 years.I've mainly spent these last few years working as a project manager for an investment firm and several private investors.

If they are heavily against this transaction then they're not the right fit for this strategy and they should look into purchasing outright on their own or just simply renting.If you're looking to do this strategy in Texas you're not going to be able to, like Brian pointed out.

We have been on the market for about 6 weeks now, granted it's a higher price range so the buyers are limited.I think a great mindset that I will have going into my next flip is to make sure the eligible buyers are plentiful so it doesn't have to be so heavily marketed to certain classes.

Rather than purchase a 1-4 unit, which relies heavily on your personal income, why not purchase a 5+ complex?  

I would have to borrow heavily from family to get $200k cash (at 6%-9%) to close the deal to transfer the deed. 

I'm going to rely heavily on feedback from anybody on here that has feedback to give about market growth, opportunity, landlord friendly state, tax friendly etc....
