As a result, while the world has experienced a huge real estate boom since the Global Financial Crisis, real estate prices in Italy have been declining over the last 15 years and there's no end to that in sight.

Due to the next global economic downturn getting closer; my main focus this year and next will be within international property bonds, wine, bridging deals.

No offense to @Elliot Galpern But lease options of more than 180 days, while not illegal in Texas, have restrictions so onerous no one will do them. 

Global companies move executives around the globe.

I had two different subcontractors(under a different GC from above) who ended up in jail for DWI's(two offenses and you do six months).

This convergence is creating new opportunities and challenges, making it essential for investors and professionals to stay informed and adaptable in a rapidly evolving market.Will the synergy of AI, big data, and innovative platforms set a new benchmark for real estate investments globally?

Some other pros would be weather, globally sought after, growing infrastructure across the state to accomodate high speed rail, space industry, we have several major airports, growing tech/medical industries as well as the ever growing theme park monsters that help to bring in about 70 million people a year here, we stay pretty purple with politics and very alternative lifestyle friendly, schools overall aren't great, but we do have some very good ones including prep schools/acadamy's. landlord friendly and so much more too!

No offense intended.

I wouldn't see that as offensive.

According to Checkr, the main reasons that offenses aren't found are:  1. the person was a minor or tried as a minor at the time of the crime 2. the offenses may no longer be reportable depending on the laws of the state where the offense occurred 3. the offenses may have occurred in a county that does not report their records to the central national criminal databaseWe do know some counties don't report their records to the national database - and some don't even put them online - which makes it difficult for any data provider to find.
