I have had sellers agreed to owner financing as well as sellers to take steep discounts, as well as sign a purchase and sales agreement with me on the spot. 

I think the numbers work better for a refinance than for a sale. 

What are the costs for the value adds, the expected hold time, and the expected sale price? 

@Shawn Questa I agree with you that there could be some opportunity here, but personally, with that little equity in the property, I'd wait for the pre-foreclosure process to start and  perhaps you can do a short sale (though I don't know the details on how that's handled in TX).

I did check Loopnet and it's all listed for sale by brokers and agents, so I don't think it is off-market -- right?

The biggest challenge we faced is the property's proximity to a railroad, which has proven to be an impediment to the sale.

It’s a smart move, especially since it ties in with your goal of saving for your first investment.For skills, you probably already have a good foundation with your sales experience—things like communication, organization, and dealing with clients are all super valuable.

The reason is the rent-to-price ratio is good so you can cash flow, and most of the West side doesn’t have a Point of sale inspection which is really annoying.   

If you want to combine two or more lesser sales into one higher purchase that is fine as long as your purchase meets the timing requirements for each sale.  

My business is listed or sale so I am thinking if it does sell that the business would then just stop paying rent and I would still own the property.
