I wrote all this as an exercise for myself, but I hope it's a high-view help to you.

I’m trying to bridge a gap here.My plan is to market to non-MLS SFR’s and make offers directly to the owners.I want to rent them out.I'm a little mixed up on the role of a RE agent and/or a RE attorney here, specifically to Texas purchase deals.Can anyone please take some time to explain to me the actual process of obtaining the contract forms (from attorney I presume??)

The types of additional duties assumed depend on the role that Fannie Mae is playing.

I'm now interested in the Wholesale Strategy.How can I use my Real Estate Agent role to complement my Investor Role and create win win situations where I can help people and also help my self?

The tenant/buyer paid a large non refundable deposit to move in and if he decides not to exercise his option to purchase, oh well.

You've usually got to step outside the forums to really exercise that fully.  

It is a personal choice, though.The reality of the due on sale clause is that it is highly unlikely that the bank will exercise their right to accelerate the loan.

@Allan Fisher The first thing you need to determine is what are your goals and objectives in real estate investing. then you need to decide what you really want to do and what your role will be.

I'm a Chemical Engineer by study and have recently transitioned to a Sourcing Analyst role over the past year and really enjoy what I do now.

For most investors, SF is the vehicle of choice for capitalizing on appreciation and market trends as it will likely result in a higher net worth over time.My rule of thumb: buy single family if you're interested in playing a more active role in analyzing and capitalizing on market trends (buy high, sell low) and if your goal is net worth.
