For example, all the key technology to replace a big chunk of the 1.7 million long-haul truck drivers exists today (in Google's self-driving cars).

The guy almost got mad lolI may have to cut and paste that on my computer screen SMH!

Absurd, so if I almost get hit by a car, I can sue the driver?

Hey Joseph,Welcome to BP, I invest here in Houston and it is a great market with great economic drivers.

.- Tenant gets mad when they're read to move out and wants to take the granite countertops with them. - Tenant tries to use this as a "well, we gave you granite" excuse later if they are late on rent, don't pay, or cause property damage. - Perhaps some concerns about tenants putting money into the property and somehow getting some vested interest in the property.I would say that the contractor doing a bad job is the most likely.I've head of tenants doing some upgrades and it going well.

Apparently city inspectors can not use a screw driver, basement door was screwed shut for protection. and my representative was not prepared ( she was from the cleaning company I hired to start the clean out ) but she did not have tools either. .

My new tenant is madly in love with the house.

The RE market is not rebounding (if so, what are the extant catalysts and drivers supporting this naive hope?)

You can't protect a property forever, but an option will put you in the drivers seat and keep you out of many of the birddogging issues of acting as a broker. ith an option you have an interest in the property, of sorts, but you hold the option and that's what you sell for your fee.

In sensitive areas, why not present your ID plus your driver's license?
