I have seen so many agents start doing a long term marketing plan with LO's and Mortgage Brokers and they end up not working well with them.  

second investment:Rowland NC - house 20 years old - 1600 sq on .4 of acre for 24k - probably purchase for 18k or so - with property management and all expenses - possibly a 300 positive cash flow - we don't expect any appreciation, but in two years or so, could probably put on the market for 30k or so - or possibly L/O...we'd also be putting down like 8k...so the mortgage would be 10k...

@Marcus Durant Congrats

Lo and behold I came across a 5 year old post of yours "OK,next Step...Mentor Sherman Regland" Great post and feedback.

It takes a little tenacity to get started, but then it is a very well paying business and a lo of fun.

So I looked on Pinterest and lo and behold there was a door almost exactly like the one that came up missing.

Never do a L/O or contract-for-deed in Texas. 

A good LO or Broker is key to executing this strategy with no hicups.Take care.

So, again, it just takes a good LO, and a plan.

Otherwise simply write lo and from one to the other.
