And I suspect these are the voices that will get heard in city hall all across the fruited plain.Last comment -- it costs $1000 here to take a course and then pass some test. 

As a flip, this would have about $35,000 in juice.

And I don't know if OUR bid had much of a chance of making money after the rehab.Had another house we looked at that got 35 other offers.40% of the offers coming in are all cash investors in the DFW market.I just feel like the low hanging fruit in the DFW area may be gone, especially for out of state investors, Its getting really tough to find anything that works right now in terms of cash flow. 

Compare that property to the one you already have and see which one would be more fruitful. 

If you do everything right and things don't work out, that's bad luck, but over time it'll bear way more fruit than someone who does bad work, gets lucky, and considers that a path to success. 

I know the juice probably won't be worth the squeeze, but I would like to be the reason for annoying phone calls and possible garnishment down the road.  

If you’re going after low hanging fruit..  

Most who get into real estate investing (or operating) chase low hanging fruit from the tree, they don't really care to know why the tree is there, how it grew, how it produces the fruit, what direction the limbs will grow or to understand that everything comes from the roots. 

Could be a shovel, fruit on your tree, clothes left out to dry, etc. 

You may be better off looking for lower hanging fruit outside the loop.
