(Cash Flow 400+/- per month)I think both options look attractive for my first deal, however, I guess my question is to what your opinions might be.  

Account Closed Which 6+ of those do you believe will hurt the chances of Texas attracting new businesses?

I have been driving for dollars, and I have sent distressed properties to the investor but is there any other ways I could attract sellers as a bird dogger and just send the properties to my investor.

Not sure if this would make me more attractive to the seller (bank) at all.NumbersI've been playing around with the BP Rental calculator, assuming $450k purchase price and $0 rehab (since I need the rehab wrapped into the mortgage), and this doesn't cash flow under my assumptions.

As a wholesaler the best way to attract agents is to be established Have a track record of doing deals.Agents will not just flock to you  believe me, I am Gorgeous and yet they didn't flock to me.

@Christopher Giorgi  Humor aside, my point was that with at least 1.5 baths, a home is a lot more attractive. 

I am just not sure how to attract out of state investors in any fashion.

Here are some examples of bad tenants:  Non payers, selling drugs in the place, attracting the wrong type of crowd, disrespectful to other tenants, hard on the units, etc..Another way to lose if to find tenants who are too transitory. 

Contrary to what you hear most trying to attract you is that it says it is the best way to go for people that do not have any money  and its fairly quick assignment fees. 

If so, a town home style may be more attractive.
