The Ideal way to help our Community get back to a better one is to start to "revitalize our community, one house at a time".

Ideally, we would lock-in the sales price before actually closing on the property and get a contract in place for the end-sale. 

Only in certain cases do I deal directly with the listing agent.

From everything I read about Texas (economy, job growth, landlord friendliness) it seems like an ideal place to be.

As you stray further away from the 'ideal' loan candidate, the harder it becomes to get conventional or private financing. 

Everything is negotiable and the most ideal situation is to draft the terms out together so that it meets each party's goals.

They think they're being sneaky by moving out before I come by, but it's the ideal outcome for me.If upon my inspection the furniture if gone, I'll post a 'notice of abandonment' to the front door, and send the same doc to them via email.

This is a very stable and competitive market- good houses sell within days of being listed.I walked through the property once- needs some cosmetic updates, new carpeting, wall paper taken down, ideally redo the kitchen in the one unit.

I think ideally I would like to fund my own deals and use earnings to buy rental properties free and clear but I'm looking for sound advice on how to make my dream a reality.
