I was in Crown Oaks and familiar with The Woodlands, which is all a nicer part of Houston.

I had to learn the art of calling a bluff with a demanding tenant. 

It’s totally raw land - power and water are only 300 feet away at the main road.The property has deeded access to the county irrigation water (NID), and there’s an abundance of beautiful manzanita, black oaks, cedar, and ponderosa pine.After $3k of 2 failed perc & mantle tests, $1200 of soil testing for lead/mercury/arsenic/asbestos, and endless hours at the building department, we decided that although this place ticks most of our boxes, we A) just can’t reconcile with the excessive mining history in the county*, and B) can't continue perc & mantle testing at $1500/test to find out whether it will cost ~$10k for a standard septic or more like ~$30k for an engineered system.

I am a little apprehensive about calling her bluff and calling her a liar right off the bat.

Call their bluff.  

@Rick Oaks either that or simply bad at math, and has never owned a business.

So, always call that bluff.

Nice bluff, is my opinion.Because when they accepted money from you, they formed a binding contract.  

We are now working on the kitchen, we plan on painting the cabinets white as they are still in good condition, we just don’t like the orange/golden oak look, will also be adding hardware and backsplash.

But it's possible, and the NAS on Oak Harbor is a great place to start, especially with the force realignment there!
