But if you are willing to sacrifice a room or section of the house (Maybe the garage), you guys could look into either renting out a space to a friend or someone in the service that is looking for something affordable.

I'd like to hear more episodes that touch on real estate agents who are also investors and/or are considered "investor-friendly" agents.

Essentially think that your child/niece/nephew/cousins kid/friends childs landlord said "(insert name) is not paying their rent, I need your help to keep them above board and going right"You said "I will help and keep them on the right path, I will make sure you get paid and things are taken care of, thank you and I am on it I will guarantee payment is handled"Then they said "I don't want them as a tenant and just want them gone"......

My question is anyone know of an investor-friendly title company or Attorney in those areas? 

But I am curious how long you were at it before you closed your first deal.1 month but the RE agent was a long time friend who cut me a deal. 

Sorry to bug you my friend

Apparently for 3 days in a row these lovely tenants have had a homeless person living in the basement of the property (one of their druggie "friends", I'm sure).

I know Sandwich Lease Option deals are not legal in Texas. Is there a comprehensive list of states where this type of transaction is or is not legal?
