It's tougher now that the grass is going dormant.

I'm getting back into the real estate game after being dormant for well over a decade. 

The holidays just before Thanksgiving until New Year see the market mostly dormant until it roars back in mid-Feb/March.If you’re a buyer, especially one who gave up in frustration earlier in the year, I suggest getting back out there to see for yourself how the market has changed.

Fine clays and mainly silts are problematic because they could be dormant but when water finds them then they react, expanding substantially therefore the failure of foundations. 

It has everything to do with my cash (equity is cash lying dormant) outside of the property is 5 times more powerful than if it stayed in the property...and whether it stays or moves, the equity has exactly the same face value...it's the true value that increases to 5 times the face value when I move it.That also means my cash flow increases as well as the appreciation since I now have more property value than I did when the equity remained in place.

Each year I am out $1,000 to hang license with broker.Each year I am out $250 in education fees plus the low amount of hours to complete.Each transaction I am out $1,000.This would mean that I would be ahead roughly $35,500 to $60,500 AFTER 10 YEARS of dormant activity ($1000 times 10

My experience is they will not look into what you have done with your property in the inside or outside, unless you have a new mortgage loan/refi or a permit for construction or do something that triggers substantive difference of the value of the property (land and/or improvements).It may take less than one year after you buy for the tax assessor to value your property at recent sales comps, or it can be dormant for several years. 

Seems like the short term rental is the way to go if I want to move forward on the property but am hesitating as we are going into winter and most of these local attractions go dormant quite a bit due to NE cold winter months.Would love any advice on if using this property as a short term rental in my area could be successful despite a good 4 super cold months where people dont frequent these attractions as much?     

I prefer the LOC because it sits dormant until you need the money quickly.

Am confused because according to the Texas property code section 52.006 Except as provided in subsection(b) a judgement lien continues for 10 years following date of recording, ECEPT if judgement becomes dormant during that period, the lien ceases to exist.It has already been 11 years since judgement was rendered, it has not been renewed.
