Was doing grunt work for an investor who ran a larger REIA from 2008-2012, and then left dfw for college. came back, decided to invest/wholesale full time, I only lasted 2 weeks in that market...IT IS SATURATEDI worked a NOD list and homeowners would say "you're the 5th person to knock on my door... today".There's deals in any market, it's just a matter of how many others you're competing with to find those deals.

I have a full time job right now that barely pays the bills.

People that don't want to take responsibility for the car repo and late credit card payments blame the credit inquiries when you ask them, but the credit report itself tells the full story 100% of the time.

Just wondering if this is a legitimate way of avoiding the full effect of a recapture. 

There are some constraints, however.Constraints:My DTI is close to being maxed outI am not accreditedAm not prepared to do my own syndication at the current timeI prefer not want to invest in REITs or the stock marketI currently work full timeThank you all for your thoughtfulness. 

I would side strongly with your friends (I believe the technicality on OO isn't being there full time, it's like more than X amount of days for 1 year or something.) so I would say maybe not "move in" but make sure you have some stuff to stay there when you have vacancies.

Hawaii (in case you're considering flipping here @Brandon Turner) was the worst.National average for 2nd quarter was 48.4%, which was 1.5 lower than same time last year.Here's the full article: https://www.bizjournals.com/dallas/news/2017/09/14/dallas-among-worst-cities-for-home-flipping-report.htmlFor DFW flippers (and others), how accurate is this report?

Don't be surprised when you're filling out a personal financial statement, that you'll probably be asked to sign a full-recourse loan, etc.

If your total monetary losses can be counted using "hundreds" I'm betting it won't be worth the fight to recover.
