Houston has been incredible in it's resistance to this recession.

Nevertheless, I can’t resist the urge any longer.

I'm probably going to fill it with a high quality, mold-resistant silicone caulk (shower grade).Generally speaking, I think the more sealer you use the better.

I think it's a great idea - but a more weather resistant covering should be installed.

That is the mentality of, usually, newer unsophisticated operators, you could be in RE for 30 years and still be an unsophisticated operator/investor.By unsophisticated I mean they lack an in depth understanding of investing or the ramifications and influences of their actions.By nature people take the path of least resistance, do you know how hard it is to get a kid to check the oil in a lawnmower before they start it?

The leak went through the 2nd floor tenant's floor, dripped down to the 1st floor and created water seeping along the path of least resistance (i.e. the part that separates the giant drywall pieces).

These are just some scenarios that can create more liabilities that I have with my SFR units.I am going to look at the inside this week and will start my due diligence after that.I really feel like I am moving from one end of the rental world to a totally opposite end so this is starching my comfort level.

As a vendor, I think they could file a mechanics lien without any resistance from the clerk.

Some buyers and sellers are resistant to dealing with a licensee.Also the time/expense to get and hold a license isn't small.

It's the path of least resistance.
