Recently I have looked at a duplex where the upstairs tenants are two young guys who are in the process of studying to become ministers. 

I have lived through furnaces being stolen from the property, water heaters taken, siding removed from  the houses that had siding,   Copper pipes being ripped out of our houses, to Ministers who rented our homes saying they could visualize themselves living there forever, but inside meaning to never pay the rent of course.

Grew up poor, dad was a minister and sometimes missionary. 

He's not even sure when he moved there, but is fairly certain Mulroney was Prime Minister (which would mean Reagan or Daddy Bush was President).

I have rented to ministers, police officers, sons of doctors, some Section 8 er's, and thought they would be great tenants and they were the worst. 

Since you're in Houston I wouldn't try it in that, or any other TX market.I agree with MikeOH about ignoring unsolicited emails, unless it's from my cousing Nduku who used to be the Nigerian Minister of Oil, he's got a great deal for you.BTW, I don't do deals with anyone who spends a lot of time trying to convince me what a big time operator he is, or can't spell or use good grammar.all cash

If the process has no meaning and not consequence based on different inputs then there’s no point, the whole exercise becomes a “Yes, Prime Minister” episode.If you had an atm card and the pin input was irrelevant to withdrawing cash from your account, how useful would you judge it?

Writ large on a world stage – take Trump or Viktor Orbán, the prime minister of Hungary, venting unmediated fury for political effect – we can see how denaturing it is, how it gates off all other, less exhilarating responses, such as empathy.This thread has devolved into a virtual stoning.  

I was just having this conversation with my minister yesterday.

I know a landlord who rents high-end, fully-furnished units (in retrofitted old historic buildings) near the legislature to government ministers at rates 2-3 times what a standard apartment in the area would fetch.
