I'm seriously considering this single family that needs renovation in a terrific area and need to act quickly.

How quickly are you looking to close?

I need to move fairly quickly on this if I am going to go through with it. 

Unlike most organizations, I believe in keeping the historic look of the neighborhood, and revitalizing the homes, while allowing them to keep their rustic charm.According to the article the amount of sold listings has more than doubled since 2015 and home prices have increased from $113,000 to $143,000 in the last six monthsAlthough the neighborhood may not be quick returns, there is definitely long term potential in the Barrio Hollywood Neighborhood and we look forward to further investments in this community.

I am an agent here in the Houston area and our market is quickly becoming a great time to buy and hold with rentals due to the oil prices and economy.

I am in the market for an attorney or Title company with experience in dealing with contract review and wholesale (quick) closings.

There were many other things, but anyone who engages in dialog with this person would quickly realize he wasn't legit.Thanks for your advice and input.

Agent and I agree that a oil-to-gas conversion would pay off very quickly.
