Since I was in Texas and planned on staying there I found out that I was qualified to take a test and get a broker license in real estate so I took the test and got the license even though I never did that full time.Regardless of what I had I felt more comfortable in the construction business.  

My thoughts exactly @Sean Gover, Make sure to sell the house to her for full price of FMV.

I am a part time investor from Pittsburgh, PA with my goal of going full time.  

@Jenna Gainey  your post is very good.. but I do want to caution folks  in a full blown foreclosure ( depending on state) 30% equity generally is not enough to ensure a 100% return of your capital.also HML  ( that are operating companies) no longer loan on collateral only..

Working full time, finding properties, and putting in offers has been difficult for me.

I sent out a hand full of emails.

I kept that license for about 30 years but I never did that full time.  

With 5 mortgage payments, PLUS rental, we would be able to achieve full ownership of the property in a (relatively) short time span.

Are you tired of the 9-5 grind and not achieving your full financial potential?
