Peculiar to Italy is the "Condono" legislation, whereby the State "condonos" the urban sins of its citizens, who have constructed, enlarged or modified buildings, without having obtained the necessary approvals from the local Council.

From my experience here this causes our market to behave in some peculiar ways, mainly due to the constant in-flow and out-flow of people.  

The other issue is that I can't get title insurance on one of the properties as it has a marijuana cultivator on the premises.

For your information, the following link will show you the areas in Houston to avoid because of high crime rates (also known as "war zones").Another peculiarity of Houston is that there is no zoning.

I would use Legal Shield or something like it to make sure that you know the laws in the area (some places have funky laws regarding buying and selling houses) and that your contracts aren't missing anything that is peculiar to that area.

It's fun as most people only talk about legalizing marijuana, but I'm talking about ALL drugs.My position is this:1.

If it makes you cringe to see people aspiring to learn and open or simply fund through seed money businesses that will promote healthy eating as opposed to leasing out the store to legal marijuana tenants under the guise of selling herbs to the community then you simply have to ignore such posts.

Nationwide , we have syndication for the lawsuit business area and marijuana business; but not for small businesses like donut shop, seems bizarre to me. 

This reminds me of the time Lil Wayne couldn't sell his Florida estate because the smell of marijuana smoke was inside the walls.
