They've dug in their heels and the more you try to coax them out of their shell, the deafer they become.

If so, how large of a spike is a part of the calculation? 

We have 7 properties in the Heights area, and a few off Gessner.Houston no longer feels like an investors market due to the spike in values.

When the world central banks (including the Federal Reserve) can no longer keep the dollar propped up through treasury bill auctions, we'll likely see a spike in interest rates tied to those securities.

Unlike Dallas, Houston, & Austin, San Antonio does not have the severe spikes in property values, nor does is have the quick drops.  

See if that spikes interest, if not... its really going to be about what that money is worth to you by getting it 6 months early.  

It's especially fascinating since we are so fresh off the heels of the last bubble, and it seems as if no one can recall it - at all. 

You will not see the appreciaton spike that you see on the costal markets so dont plan on making money that way in those kind of markets. 

Something as simple as walking around in high heels can be aggravating for a tenant below from a noise aspect.

I don't know of a market where those rents would attract even low income working folks.I would not be a buyer.If I was the manager or the maintenance guy I'd want a Rottweiler with one of those collars with all the spikes and I'd open carry.
