Houston might be cheaper than most cities in Cali but the market is tight so if something is just hanging out on the shelf is probably a sign.One great way to get a good feel of the property is to ask whoever selling that house to take a detailed video of the house and send it to you.

This gives infinite more flexibility.

Limited budget Lowes off the shelf

I have an investor that has shown interest and we have initially discussed terms where they receive a 15% preferred return and then we split anything above that (I know this may not be the best terms on my end but I'm interested in the process and it could be a relationship builder, plus infinite return if I put nothing in).

There are an infinite amount of ways to set it up, but I have heard of a lot of people doing a 50/50 split when one person provides all the money and the other person does all the work. 

My cash flow, albeit smaller is 100% FREE to me, as I have no money invested to earn it, and I still have my original investment which I can use to repeat the process. the return on investment for a 100K house that makes 1000/month is 12%but a 100K house with a 100K mortgage that makes $200/month is infinite. also, when your house is paid off you have  terrible return on equity, it's important for us to all maximize what resources we have in all areas.

we had about 50 million out and that was 250 investors.pretty sure you will find like kind companies in your state no problemthen just look at loans they present you and make sure they make sense.DONT do this with NEWBIES or people hitting you on the internet talking a great game.. you need to belly to belly and make sure your aligning with top shelf experienced players. 

bar and 1 shelf above it.

On the other hand, when you have $0 invested ANY return is infinite.

Howdy @Jason HowellThe reason you have infinite CCR is you no longer have any of your own cash in the deal.
