If I can bring you any value with my time,resources,and desire to learn more about REI I would jump at the opportunity.Thanks

I have no desire to be unethical or even viewed as such.  

Don't believe in net worth in RE either, I've seen my net worth declined by 5 times in 2008, because I had a lot of ''equity''.I only believe that true wealth is a future cash flows discounted at desired rate of return

My suggestion is to work backwards -- figure out the most you can sell it for, and then determine how much of a profit that would realistically leave you if the buyer purchased based on the 70% rule (or whatever formula your buyer will use).If that profit amount is worthwhile to you, it's a reasonable deal for you to pursue...The deal will determine your profit, not your desires -- the better you negotiate the deal, the more profit you will make.

And if you learn how to execute a value play, there is huge money to be made if you so desire.  

However, I have a strong desire to do this and know its possible.

Lot of older rich landlords and tons of vendors for everything your land-lording heart could desire.

The market is so tight in Dallas right now that full-time investors (particularly smaller players) are paying more for deals, because less profit is better than no profit, particularly if you are dependent on that income.3.  2% is a mirage in most reasonably desirable areas of DFW.  

The mortgage broker is a necessary component of any transaction where conventional or hard money financing is desired, but seller finance deals are outside of the mortgage broker's scope.

I like the fact that people on here challenge me to think specifically and clearly about exactly what I need to do to achieve what sometimes starts out as a murkey path to achieve a desired goal.
