talk someone into selling sub to by paying over retail putting next to nothing down.. then renting the home and ripping the rents never paying on the mortgage so in states like NY NJ PA were foreclosures take years they make all that cash flow while the seller suffers and loses their credit etc.Selling sub to is absolutly the WORSE move a seller can make if its just a straight sub to.

Can anyone give me a straight answer on doing Lease Options here in Texas? 

We went straight to the lease.2.

We integrate it with AppFolio to keep everything clean, transparent, and easy to reconcile.That combination has worked really well for us in managing properties efficiently while maintaining detailed financial records.If you’re just starting out with three rentals, I wouldn’t jump straight into the big platforms — they can get pricey fast.

Doing proper research — looking at the chain of title and checking the NY court system — gives you an edge most first-time buyers don’t have.I actually maintain a Brooklyn Pre-Foreclosure dataset (updated Oct 2025) that pulls verified filings straight from the New York State Unified Court System, showing dates of default, mortgage balances, and more.

Since I have never made a deal before nor do I have a lot of cash to start, I don't know if I should start small with a single-family house or if I should try to pull some investors together and start straight away with some multifamily properties.

If they want to push you straight into a 3 to 5 figure course, run away.    

But it shows type of errors owner PMs make.get a good professional PM, consult a putt bull lawyer, and get rid of this tenant as soon as you can. 

I have experience in that arena, it’s fairly straight forward in my opinion — as long as you have the discipline to do what’s necessary  

I’ve heard people bragging about going straight to the listing agent to submit an offer in order to save the buy-side commission before and found out that they overpaid by the property by $500k in order to save a $30k commission.
