By doing so, you'll be well-positioned to identify great opportunities in the Houston market.Good luck!

Ie, invest in cash flow positive properties.

For me the best-case scenario would be to pay him some cash to assign the deal, and then you take it over 100%.If you have no cash, then it becomes a question of who has the greatest position of strength.

I've already got a salaried position which demands more hours than it pays (like they all do), so something with minimal hands on requirement in my spare time would be ideal.

I am in a position I am not exactly sure of the best strategy to take.

The feedback I have seen and gotten more often than not is to form an entity in the state where you are operating.
