I had to leave out of the country so I talked with my broker over email about completing the deal for me.In the email he offered to complete the deal for 50/50 which I thought was very fair.So, now my friend is under contract and I emailed my broker to clarify our deal in which he now magically states all that he will give me is a 20% referal fee.

I am a middle school math teacher in Houston.

If it's November, and there are 14, 3/2 ranchers, 1600-2000 sq ft in a one mile radius, they may need to finance the deal if they really are motivated to sell.These are all greater motivators than arguing that their money will be invested at a better rate than other alternatives, but this is a point to make in every deal.If anyone needs an explanation of these aspects, just ask, I'll drill deeper or dumb it down to a grade school level

We live half an hour away from a large town which helps us get great tenants that want small town schools for there kids.

I think it is the third Thursday each month, but that could be wrong.I am going to start hosting monthly events again starting next year after CFB season is over and people recover from holiday mode.Congrats on graduating from UT's McComb's school.

My wife and I have transitioned into our roles as parents, I've had a couple of nice promotions, and I am almost done with grad school (MBA).My background is in accounting.

Was that school loans, mortgage, or a combination of things?

@Joel Owens Didn't know some universities had the first right of refusal on land close to school.

I consider Property A an "A" because it is in a "recognized" school district, established neighborhood, homes are well maintained and manicured, close access to shopping, entertainment, freeway, etc.

And many don't like to change schools mid-year when they have children in public schools.And the renters that ARE looking, well they might have issues so you have to be cautious.
