Once I have located such a property, I buy their property for below market, (instant equity) no bank qualifying, no credit checks, by offering to take over their loan and make their payments for them.

It was a great property when it was sold, with multiple offers over asking price.

Let's say a seller is willing to take a seller finance offer on their property.

It is to my understanding that Nevada offers reciprocity on a Texas real estate license.

I thought at this point in time it might make more sense to start investing in RE projects that can offer above average returns ( 10+% p.a.) with relatively low LTV's and first lien positions. 

A hard money loan could facilitate your fix-and-flip project, offering quick funding despite potentially higher interest rates and shorter terms.

Nevada, with cities like Las Vegas and Reno, offers a tourism-driven economy, ideal for vacation rentals, but be sure to research regulations on short-term rentals.

Selling the property offers a significant cash sum, enabling you to potentially diversify your STR portfolio by purchasing multiple properties outright, fostering a more passive income stream.

I am eager to connect with all of you and learn from your experiences and insights.I am open to any advice or suggestions you may have to offer.

Joshua,I would offer two pieces of advice the first would be to consider a cash out refinance over a HELOC.
