I can surely use my agent to help, but understanding the logic/math behind it would be very helpful so that I can analysis deals more efficiently on my own.Thanks for the help!

StevenIf the Contract was done on a TAR 1-4 Family Contract, and involved a Texas Licensed REALTOR, a Title Company was most logically holding the Earnest Money.

THe logic is that STRs are a nuisance to the quietness of residential single family neighborhoods.

Partnering is a very logical choice.  

It seems by the same logic that in theory and by the same logic that the note investor should also be insured against such a loss if they held the note BEFORE such a flood occurred as well ... that is why banks force place flood insurance if it lapses on properties in a flood zone, right?

Odds are there's (to use a bad phrase) some interest-rate-arbitrage to be had.So maybe a logical next question: Why $2.5M for two car washes?  

Of course, almost all of that could be mitigated by getting a local investor friendly agent which sounds like the most logical choice to make this early in the game.

I really like the 50s builds they are logical layouts and the way they are built is still very solid in the midwest.  

Sometimes the assessors have no rhyme or reason that is logical.

On top of that if they do somehow get lucky enough to cross the closing line with this buyer traditional logic would dictate that it would take at least double or triple the amount of time it could take that agent to close with a client who is looking at homes in their price range which would cut their hourly pay in half or into thirds.
