She has the ability to pay rent, but would rather spend it on material items than her bills.

And only after you spend time, money and effort, finding "people" will you ask them "hey sell me your house".Now, how many people do you need to ask this question before you not only get a "yes"...

I'm particularly passionate about East rural areas of Dallas.Outside of real estate, I enjoy horseback riding, jet skying, home improvement projects, and spending time with my family & friends.Excited to learn and connect with yawl!

Do you suggest that I qualify as a real estate professional by spending at least 750 hours a year in real estate and more than half my total working hours in real estate?

Otherwise consider spending your money buying an additional property.

You need a price point of how much you want to spend for and home and make sure you have money to fix up the property and an emergency funds free and clear just in case something goes wrong. 

It also makes it challenging when purchasing a property from an estate or other party that hasn't really managed the property well (didn't spend a lot of time screening the current tenants).

If you are expecting this person to go out and source the items and then place them in the unit that involves a lot of work, designer time, and designer energy.One way to get yourself on boarded with a designer would be to make some phone calls and see if they have openings for new clients as far as spending the time needed, because in our business time is money vs a family having their living room dining room and entry hall redecorated, where time is not probably of the essence.

Spend a great deal of time investigating and doing your homework before jumping in.
