We don't know what your education is looking like so far.

I want them teaching me, not using me to fund their education.Occasional free education sessions are nice. 

The five day notice period is almost up so I need someone soon. 

Nhi Nguyen thank you so much for a very educational day this past weekend!

While I'm only about 2 years into my RE investing career, I've already been through a couple of paid events (only SFR flipping, not commercial multi-family yet) which certainly propelled my career forward but also included a whole lot of sitting through a bunch of 'Get Rich Quick' sales pitches to buy even more educational products.

@Steve Vaughan  I may be wrong but I think lease options in TExas are illegal that over a certain period of time.although fine minds think alike..

Also, It's not uncommon for commercial properties to have a 90 day closing period, so if you can dispose your SFR's in 90 days, you'll be good.

Would you rather do a buy & hold (holding period of at least 10-15 years) rental investment in a "boring" low growth market but achieve 1% rule or invest in a "hot" growth RE market, aim for appreciation but only achieve a 0.65-0.70% rent/purchase ratio?

To my understanding properties purchased from a tax sale there is a 2yr period at which time the owner can pay the taxes and take back ownership?

It will cost you a bit upfront but you will get a great education being by their side and ask as many questions as you can while you're working.On bigger jobs I actually have two crews of two other guys.
