@Czarina Harris Yes, Czarina, I would like to be very realistic with my terms.

@Harry Williams If I have a property that I hope gets redeemed I send a letter to the home owner first.

I can't tell you how many WILL's I have read that have multiple kids surviving and the property is left to a charity. 

there are few meetups taking place this month in Harris County. 

Welcome to BP @Sylvia Harris, 

I was never arguing that Vegas couldn't survive without pro sports, in fact I think I said that pro sports wouldn't have that big of impact because of the gambling (which to better define would be all the business that goes on in the strip).When it comes to a football team it's going to be locals for the most part that support it.

It mirrors much of a longstanding plan in Harris County to buy out properties in the most flood-prone areas.

Some examples of bigger ones are Bremer Bank, Sunrise Bank, Deerwood Bank, BMO Harris Bank, First National Bank Hastings, Community Resource Group & Citizens State Bank, but there are hundreds more.I just want to be clear that I would not chase the LLC designation to get the property into an LLC. 

Theres a few decent meetups, the one that I go to more regularily is at Harry's Hofbrau. 

On the other hand, I knew several apartment owners and commercial property owners that managed to survive the last crash without much impact.
