Assign a contract: This is where you get a property under contract and you "fee" that you collect at closing is for giving the end buyer the rights to execute on the contract.

SO much of the program has to be executed, one by one by one, so I have to touch the same prospect/lead 3-4 more additional times to get it moved from list stacking, over to an active lead, and then into the dialer, and then into a drip campaign.

I am more likely to take a risk, but i suspect when my husband is out from under a controlling baby mama, he won’t mind a little risk either.I love Texas, try to vacation there often and my husband is aligned with Texas farm property as a ten year long term goal.I’m also passionate about the trades and if i could do it all again I’d be part owner of some kind of builder or remodeler or specialty trades business. 

I know that the general guidance is that emergency funds aren't to be invested, but given our financial security and the fact that we already have a personal e-fund in a safe, non-volatile location, would it still be crazy/unwise to invest this 15k in an S&P500 index fund in a brokerage? 

Success still depends on your effort, discipline, and ability to execute.

Unless you are finding off-market opportunities direct to seller, I can't imagine the deals working on BRRRR.I completely agree that the current market makes BRRRR a much tougher strategy to execute, especially with higher interest rates and tighter margins.

If youre saying condos are trading at $220 a square foot....Id be planning on a value of $110 per square foot on a co-op.

If you wanted to do a 1031 exchange down the road to use that equity and trade up then that'd be a good idea.The homes I’m looking at buying are in the 330,000-350,000 range.

You don't have a recourse because you took the liability on yourself knowing that is not his trade.  10 days later you have a water leak in the SAME bathroom causing the ceiling downstair to leak AGAIN.  

I think an equally probable scenario is that we'll convert it to a rental, and then look into a 1031 exchange if we think we can trade into a better-performing asset.
