In 6 months it won’t make a difference - perfect example of this business being the “long game”. 

This is an extremely unusual practice, never seen this in 15 years of my investing career.

I’m not saying this is perfect… but if you can find a home like this one for $600k that could work long term, trust me, with a little effort and patience, you can find even a better one off market or make this one work.

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

All of this being said, part of the plan is to purchase my neighbor's 4.5 acres to give me complete control of almost 14 acres off a major city/county road that connects to a major Texas highway in the DFW area.

People like this Scott Carson guy give "mentor" and "guru" a bad name which is just so frustrating because they are not all bad.

This is JUST TO BE EVEN, with doing nothing. 

i know this is not exactly the answer you want to hear, but it's just a really tough time to get started. 

With that said, get materials ordered early - especially for kitchens and baths.

You’ve got this!
