John - I have some background in IP and I think William's point is an important one. Evaluating the strength and desirability of the patent will be key. Sounds like Larry has some experience here but I'm happy to discuss with you. Matt

I can't help with venture capital, but I do work with several entrepreneurs in my business. They often tell me that there are no truly original ideas and I hope yours is the exception. Might I suggest reaching out to the Texas Association of Realtors to find a current RE firm that has experience in finding capital for starting up a non-traditional practice?
