My dad was a builder (but has now passed) and I just think this makes so much sense but need to find access to the knowledge and potentially an investor/creative financing to do the rest.Anyone who could offer any advice/time/links to info would be greatly appreciated. 

All of these are things you want to look at when evaluating rental potential.

Looking for insights on areas for investing on a townhome with potential appreciation and rental cash flow. 

The potential 2.5% commission that might have been directed to the buyer's side is now potentially off the table.This change prompts a critical question for unrepresented buyers: how does this alter your strategic advantage when approaching a sale without an agent?

So you may lose a few potential buyers and spend more time on the market waiting for the right buyer with this approach.

A couple million in general liability, which I bet you're carrying anyway on top of the LLC is all that is required.The TIC solution is elegant and once the exchange is completed you can always merge the entities into one since the ownership is the same.

Likely 99%+ of the recipients won't be interested in selling at the moment (and with a list that large, some of the data is invariably wrong or has changed since collection), but if you can stay in their mind for when they are ready to move forward with something, it's potentially worthwhile.If you've collected their data, likely someone else already has (or will soon), so differentiate and show your value. 

This goes back to doing more due diligence - talk to investors who have properties in those areas and to 5 experienced property management companies (instead of just 3) who will tell you what properties are renting for, potential problems, tenant base, etc

Hi BP community,I’m looking to invest in Texas and there’s a new law that the buyer must sign agreement with one realtor company or agent for the potential property. 

Bottom line… I’d be willing to come in a few thousand dollars more on my offer if it means there’s future potential to earn that much extra in rent each month, and I’m not sure what to do.
