I looked up the Texas Heroes program and it fits the usual model.  

I have a deposit for the model 3 as we probably going to buy 2 of those.if this roof is as advertised I will put them on everything I touch.

Right now, my model for partnership really isn't a formal partnership...it's looking for those with cash (or cash like substances) that want to be cash partners but want to control their risk.My secret to partnership (not that big of a secret really) is to only form partnerships with others that can/will do either:1 - What I can't do2 - What I don't want to do, or the most important one,3 - What I shouldn't be doing (even if I can do it).

Look into what BRRR means via bigger pockets.If you're going the passive model I would advise either a solo 401k or a IRA of some sort.

I understand and respect the scaled up investment model, and can learn a bunch from it and its practitioners, but small, simple, high control, low overhead, low risk, low headaches by design is the way I roll personally ... although that occasionally bites me when I cross that line between frugal and cheap with johnny lunchbox type contractors :)

You’ll literally step right through the floor if you’re not careful.The house on Berry Bennett happens to be an 86 model with particle board floors.Also, mobile homes don’t use the same ductwork as regular houses.

I have that exact model in another unit and it's what I'm trying to avoid.

Great business model.

I am in the process of putting together a business model that can replace my "job" income and build wealth for me and my wife and ultimately my children.  

To avoid anchoring on the $500 number, I want to clarify these would be leads that:Have all but agreed to sell their propertyHave given a fairly low price compared to marketIs highly motivatedIs looking to sell immediatelyRealistically, most "leads" would sell for $50-$100 - this is someone ready to pick up on the other line to hear someone make an offer on their house,  with you as the wholesaler equipped with some other basic information about them and their needs/wants.I'm not sure which sites you're referring to, but from my experience in using Listsource and Melissadata, I expect to spend at minimum ~$100-500 in mail to get a call back, not including the cost of the list itself, without any sort of information on the potential seller, which leaves me at a disadvantage from a negotiations standpoint.Regarding your mentioned model - we're definitely exploring the option of:Significantly reduced cost per lead with profit sharing models for the more risk-averse individualsNo upfront cost/lead, but higher cost/lead if a bulk of sales ends up in a salePete
