@Guy Gimenez - I spoke with a local attorney who’s been practicing for almost 30 years and he says he’s never dealt with such a situation.

Hi guys,So I've been doing homework on real estate investing for a while and I am ready to put it to practice...is there anyone in the local Dallas area (preferably Cedar Hill) that would be willing to let me look over your shoulder as you work a deal or two?

I found this brief summary via FindLaw and wonder if it is relevant here:"Texas law states the squatter must actually use the property consistently and visibly for a period of time without the owner trying to remove the squatter.

I would think this is at least good for practice analyzing, but like you would like to know if there are other/better ways.

Hi allCan anyone tell me where can i find deal to analyze for practice?

Textbooks and school taught me the terms but being in the workplace has allowed me to learn how to put these terms to practical use.

So its really not very practical or your not going to have much success if you just hone in on one property... you must follow 50 or more to get one. not that you could not get lucky and pre foreclosure takes the competition out of it. 

Don't think you can rationalize paying credit card APRs with this strategy and end up ahead.You can get significantly and consistently better returns from your investments than you will lose through depreciation.

Most of this consisted of taking down existing wood paneling and prepping the walls to be painted.Next week the bathroom will be completed and the 2nd floor and first floor will be primed and painted as well

My business plan will have me wholesaling until I know marketing well enough to consistently generate the number of quality calls I need to hit my wholesaling revenue targets.
