I have been unable to get any information regarding this subject so looking to see if anyone knows: does Texas allow home equity sharing loans (also called equity investment loans)?

Ask for proof of funds, more information about the buyer, etc.

There is a lengthy discussion comparing and contrasting the "broker" and "finder" parties and their role in the transaction in the court case described here: http://law.justia.com/cases/new-york/other-courts/2010/2010-20104.htmlWhile I realize this does not apply directly to the topic at hand (Wisconsin), I and other BP members in other states should find it very informative and educational.

Thanks for the information Travis, Yea it seems like the high taxes and insurance premiums are going to make this less desirable. i appreciate your input.

Abel Hi Abel thank you for taking the time to post this I appreciate it It gives me a lot of great information I own a restaurant in a tight knit community so I think I have a good starting point for potential clients I have around 5 hours a day to work on the side hustle I will add that book to my list are there any other books you recommend for getting into real estate?

Good information!

that was 7 years ago though and inventory is much tighter now.yes on auctions - you often have to buy with incomplete or incorrect information, and so just very tough to do as your first or second deal.it sounds like you're doing some of the right things in terms of starting to build a network, but it's just very tough to act when you need to when you're out of state.
