History: There were so many low-life, greedy, scumbag, shister "investors" who did "rent to purchase", seller financed deals designed to cheat people out of their down payment and take the property back, that it now will effect all investors, one way or another.Problem is, having the loan or contract "originated" by a broker, for example, won't eliminate these deals, but it will probably slow them down.I read in a forum that you will be allowed to do five deals per year without a license.

If they don't work for money, they never understand the value of money.My own child grew up in a rich neighborhood, and the kids of the new rich were spoiled beyond belief; every toy in the book, designer clothes, anything and everything they wanted.

Something I came across called "The Intelligent Anode", designed to alert when the sacrificial anode has worn to the point of needing replacement:http://www.biggerpockets.com/links/6730

Bot for tax and income i.d. purposes i would have to designate myself as a "real estate bird dog", "property finder" or anything else anyone can think of?

After all, you are talking about the racist's freedom of speech.Just write the rules to allow real estate for sale signs of a small size and designate where they can be posted.

I'd suggest, being in Texas and probably on a slab, you consider adaptable homes for accessibilty and that the "small/modest" homes be designed to be expanded for additional living space without messing up the functionality of the existing starter home.The new Home Star program might be a boost here as well.

There is VERY little upkeep on the property other than what might come up with the structure itself and they are very simple in design (office built into the warehouse, with full access to all of those walls easily).There is a meter box for every unit... they are responsible for their own electricity.

Some sales are conducted at the Courthouse or a Designated Room/Location.

Bathrooms, unless a horrible design take me just a few seconds.

Of course you need to make certain you can put a sign on it - but even a "lot for sale" sign and then under it an advertisement for whatever you do - seems worth it.If I could buy a lot, in a heavily populated area, for $435 - I would scoop it up if I could put a sign or banner on it.Things to consider:1.
