Since I'm not the property manager I keep my mouth shut :-)  But let's say you do form a good relationship. 

The areas south and also east of the Intel campus offer great areas with low crime, good schools, shopping, restaurants and newer homes.The newer homes will reduce your need to do major improvements for years on many of the properties.As a Broker and a Property Manager, we see many doing just what you are requesting and having long-term success.

This would mean the investor would also need to work a full time job in the area (to be able to make the monthly $650/mo. payments).We envision someone getting a job and working at one of the local restaurants or small businesses in the area, living in the home, taking good care of the property and owning it in 5 years.

My plan is to actually get a job in the restaurant business (for the winter and temper hours during the lawn season) where the income would have a base wage of $11 plus tips.

Then the difficult one had utilities shut off in freezing weather and repairs had to be made before closing. 

Before anyone goes and shuts their doors in my face, I would simply like to get a cup of coffee or a brewski with anyone open to the idea.

I don't pretend to be friends with them, but which restaurant would you go back to and pay for, one that treats you like crap, or one that treats you like a person?

It’s interesting that they are trying to revitalize it when they just shut down the firehouse responsible for that area (30th and Clybourn).

I'm enjoying small town life but certainly miss all the amazing restaurants we had at our fingertips in Houston.

I saw all kinds of crazy $4it that pissed me off...my water being used for water balloons, to fill kiddie pools, to wash cars...even an old bag lady that rinsed off cans she found in my trash...and that lady wouldn't shut the water off since it wasn't her problem!
