I've had moderate success as a mobile hoke investor in L.A. but would like to branch out into multifamily and Ohio seems to have cheap buy in.

I've read up on Landlord/Tenant  law on Texas State Law library government website but seems those laws are geared towards landlords with full unit rentals.

If done properly, they'll give you max value long term.You seem to be doing things right. 

I have also seen no interest reserve whatsoever and while the cash needed on day of origination might seem much lower, once applied to the transaction, the cash requirement is actually much higher (albeit partially delayed in being required).

Adelson's and Sands are basically out of Vegas and looking at Dallas for the worlds largest convention businesses (and gaming).I could name probably another 100 positives for Texas vs most other places in the US for real estate investment.Wind and Hail are some of the negatives and the occasional hurricane, but none of those seem to be stopping the growth.Come on down. 

However, my client is one that does one heck of a job in his market and is a one of my top producers so I look at this from that angle he needs the US income so he can build his resort or resorts on those islands. he has a play on the Islands I can't really go into on open forum but it seems pretty unique but nothing like I said I have an interest in personally at our age. maybe if we were still 30 YO and immortal I would have  a different perspective on it all. 

Appreciation seems to be the play and I believe Nampa has seen an 8-9% increase since last year.

My suspicion is that the attraction of “wholesaling” is (1) it seems to be a simple independent one person business and (2) it appears to have a very small capital requirement.  

It seems like investors most commonly use a quit claim deed for this.

This innovative approach seems promising, allowing buyers like me to acquire properties without the need for new financing upfront.However, as I navigate this journey, I'm also curious about how the compensation for real estate agents works within the context of a Subto deal.
