In this book, the main theme that is driven into the reader’s consciousness is the necessity of Living Beyond one’s means.

the general theme/theory is that suburban sprawl destroys inner cities so these developers of interest have a heavy emphasis on mixed use property development to restore old cities...

I've worked with hundreds of private sellers over the years, and I see a reoccurring theme a lot.

But common themes are greed, a “can’t lose” attitude, leverage and/or "funny money", and amazingly enough, thinking that we’ll be OK because it’s different this time!

I think there have been some very valid points made here pertaining to wholesalers, and a common theme that I have seen in this thread is that maybe some dealings with one or two "bad" wholesalers have really caused some people to be completely biased against "any" person identifying themselves as a wholesaler or has anything to do with wholesaling.

You got some good advice on how to value the property and it sounds like the main theme is - be conservative.

I am sure not all homes are like this.. but for me Its more than theme its reality  in the long run your deal will boil down to PM and tenants  if you can keep turn over to a absolute minimum and you have tenants that are very kind to your property you should do pretty well. that price point and rent in Dallas should get you decent folks in both respects.I don't subscribe to the rent appreciation theory I think rents are topping.. and people are going to drop back into buying houses when house payments are lower than rent... its a cycle that's for sure... but 1300 a month even in Texas will buy a nicer home with an fha loan that they are renting from you... at some point this is going to turn in my mind.

If you notice in my advice, I have theme of, following the comps.  

  Hello BP Community ,I have couple goals and some of theme I  reached.Real Estate Goals :-I am new to RE, and my new goal is   to get as much cash flow as possible by doing direct marketing to get deals, than wholesale some of it and to keep some as " subject to", when I've got this done good enough I want to switch to triple net properties and buy tax leans. 

You are claiming to have learned from your youthful mistakes and are trying to help people, but statements like this are undermining of the theme you are trying to achieve.
