The federal Fair Housing Act of 1968 and the federal Fair Housing Act Amendments Act of 1988 prohibit discrimination on the basis of the following criteria (called “protected categories”): race or color; religion; national origin; familial status or age—includes families with children under the age of 18 and pregnant women; disability or handicap, or sex.

I think it would be great to eventually turn this into a full-time gig, but slow and steady wins the race!

The only obstacle for us, would be finding new and creative ways to find Buyers.We've already set aside a few days to spend at the Race Track.We are always willing to learn more and take on new effective approaches to marketing.

For this reason and more (like abatements, homestead exemption qualifications) simply call your local assessor to get the information "straight from the horses mouth" as they say in Texas.
