Then, suck it up and go speak with the individual or individuals who spoke about the strategy that you found interesting.  

@Jake KnightI do know of companies and individuals that do really well at wholesaling, but it can be difficult to sustain as you have to do it every month, but if you have integrity and do it right, and build a SYSTEM, I have seen it sustained and can be a good model.  

I would like to connect with other individuals in terms Austin area and learn more cool things.My focus right now is wholesale.

Seasoning, an important question that must be considered, whatever the policy the individual lender may have, make sure you receive this in writing. 4.

Are any of the properties individually titled or is there one title covering all 4 buildings?  

I have contacted all taxing authorities and determined there is 3200 tax owed on the property which we are willing to pay, and a minor sewage lien.As there is no money being transferred here I was hoping to do the closing myself.

As a FEW examples: how do you value the individual units so the other person can "buy out" the partner. 

Start attending some local meetups and networking with individuals in the city.  

In California, prior to closing our employing broker will send escrow a commission disbursement authorization form (CDA for short). 

Unless the properties are in close vicinity for easier management, I suspect they will sell individually.
