You can listen to testimonials and stories all day from their websites, but these days I always want to here it from the horses mouth.  

You have to make sure your numbers work, meaning you don't want to put gold teeth into a dead horse.  

Trying to help him not put the cart before the horse is the intention I think.

I think you're putting the cart before the horse.

You have to figure out where the 'meat and potatoes' are coming from in your deal and use that income or gain as the work horse for how you structure your deal.

Investing in Real Estate is not the same as betting on a horse,The stakes are much higher and your entire future could be affected.

No horses, but there are other options / stipulations.My thought is the DFW area is booming and will continue to do so as people flee the oppressive governments of other states until there's no where to flee.  

I have 2 horses that currently reside at my parents home that I would love to get on my own property eventually. 

Thanks everyone for your thoughts, I hoping to get the horse hitched up to go on this as well as other issues, like seller financing and dealing with private money investors.....everyone remembers that I'm sure, LOL.

I look at it as one, big RE portfolio.I think the rent vs own debate is interesting, and by my way of thinking, it is financially a horse a piece.
