My question is anyone know of an investor-friendly title company or Attorney in those areas? 

You’re a wise individual, and I wish you the best as well. 

But I am curious how long you were at it before you closed your first deal.1 month but the RE agent was a long time friend who cut me a deal. 

Sorry to bug you my friend

But if someone does manage to damage it, individual pieces can be replaced instead of having to repair the entire floor. 

Apparently for 3 days in a row these lovely tenants have had a homeless person living in the basement of the property (one of their druggie "friends", I'm sure).

I don't know if I ever really accomplish much but it is nice to get together with like minded individuals and discuss what we are involved in and hopefully to help someone get started.

I know Sandwich Lease Option deals are not legal in Texas. Is there a comprehensive list of states where this type of transaction is or is not legal?

IMHO he did not keep a professional manner and did not handle the issue in a customer friendly fashion......I am glad he refunded me at this point since I am not interested in rolling the dice on any more $1500+ programs but I was shocked to see that he did not care to better explain the reasoning behind the waiting time for setup VS the guarantee time limit ......or even try to level with me as a customer.
