I am an investor in Houston and I was trying to buy 7 condos in Dubai at the Trident Grand Palace, but the agents that I was working with were not very responsive.

And, that kind of activity is what makes it hard for the honest working people to get past the damage done.BTW: If any of those empty properties has a swimming pool, I have an end buy in wanting a place in Houston.

I sold my home and I interviewed 3 Realtors here is what prices they gave me $210,000 $240,000 $269,900 oh my Houston we have a problem......

My wife commented the other day that it's starting to look like the early '80s in Houston all over again.

Take out a classified in their local paper.Go to Chicago, Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, Jacksonville, Orlando, Tampa, Miami, etc, etc.

housing in this area (east side of houston) is pretty stale..the house is on the tax rolls at 220K also.

We may have some of the worst property tax, an insurance board that's in the pocket of the industry and the scummiest politicians money can buy; BUT we can sure bounce deadbets quickly.Back in the late '80s or early '90s the Houston Chronicle did an article about evictions because there are so many filed in Harris County (Houston).

Besides which doing that would cause recent buyers, current contracts awaiting closing and lookers to completely lose faith in that development.I saw this in the '80s in Houston and much of TX.

In Houston, TX - I would definitely try in my local market.I think what your asking do-able however not a good way to get your REAL goal accomplished.

That happened just about the time we moved from MO to Houston.
