The more conservative, the lower projected return and vice versa.You will need to look at multiple deals that are targeting your strategy and asset class, before you will intuitively "know" whether something is in line or not.What is the most important factors when considering passive real estate opportunities?

Careful going outside state lines -- contract for deed is not allowed in Texas.I didn't think COD is illegal in Texas, just perhaps not recommended anymore, because it is difficult to comply with the rules or regulations. 

It may also make it easier for your estate planning attorney to line up ownership with your estate plan, assuming a CA-estate plan if a CA resident.

I will PM you so you have my direct line.

If you have a seller-financed deal, I can help you line up a DSCR loan and set up a second position behind it so you don’t have to come out of pocket much.

Make sure everything lines up and makes sense. 

I even identified a viable property to do this already, but may not have my ducks in line yet to execute with a group.If I can get a fund going, I plan to scale it and do more of these projects since I have the blue print to do this over and over, but just need cash.

I own one half, 3 bed 3 bath, and I’m currently living in and renovating it with plans to rent down the line.

So seems to me pretty cheap way to get to meet people that are doing the deals and learn at the same time.Bp is nice and fine.. but its just the internet.. you can only learn so much here. at the end of the day real estate is belly to belly you got to go work and meet with who your going to entrust your investment funds with.. or if your going to try a new line of work..

But, I think in practice, "reverse trolling" remains ill-defined and a blurred line will rapidly begin developing.
