They agree to as-is but then get a termite inspection and then ask me to chip in on the inspection cost or repair.

I lived in Houston for 6 years after living in Austin for 10 and am now back in Austin.Austin is a technology hub, not just for semiconductor manufacturing but for actual technology start ups like Solar Winds and Dell and many others and stalwarts like Cisco, IBM, who both have a strong presence here and Google and Apple who are in the process of building campuses here along with GE and Visa.The lack of state tax, low cost of living and abundance of land makes Texas a great prospect for major corporations to set up shop (Samsung continues to expand their chip manufacturing plant as we speak) Even in smaller towns like Waco, you see job growth and new companies coming (mostly manufacturing) simply because the cost of doing business is so much cheaper.

I've been hosting in the Oak Park area of Sacramento for the last 1.5 years and it's been amazing.

If I don't have a contract and an explanation emailed to me by the time I get to the office at 7:30am  tommorow then the chips will end up where they fall.

We will then decide if we will repair the items or provide a written explanation of why we are not -- for example, chip in counter, cosmetic only, will add it to list of discrepancies tenant will not be responsible for at end of lease term. 

@Brian Pulaski   Hey there Chip Gaines, good work.  

Not excellent, like those in Hoover, Mountain Brook, Vestavia Hills, or the Oak Mountain area, but still good quality with adequate funding.  

I can only imagine there was some sort of payoff during the last inspection because I've failed inspections for minimally chipped paint. 

Welcome from Stone Oak area!

It's pretty cut and dry, but it works and now he's worth enough to buy every man, woman, and child a nice sandwich and a bag of chips. 19.7% annualized gain in book value isn't as sexy as day trading, but BRK/A just closed at 190,500 a share!
