They decided not to rent because I have a clause that says explosives and hazardous materials are not permitted.  

Sounds like an explosion/earthquake from hell LOL! 

A CPA from most other states would have their head explode at how high home ownership is taxed in Texas, and it could be considered involuntary manslaughter on your part if you knowingly and intentionally submitted that information to a non-Texas CPA.I myself have come close to head explosion several times when doing deals for folks that own real estate in Texas.

Apparently hitting the cinder-block wall was so loud, people thought there had been an explosion, so there were a pretty good amount of curious onlookers. 

I only have common sense, not commercial loan experience :-)Even my daughter, who was only about 28 years old during the real estate explosion prior to the crash, knew that even though her bank and her realtor kept telling her she could afford a $500,000 home, that she could not. 

Add to that the highway expansion (mentioned in another thread) and you can bank on the explosion that is coming our way. 

EOTR pricing seems to already factor some anticipated explosive growth which seems more like a 10 - 15 year timeline than a 2 or 3 year timeline.

Less about explosive profit potentials and more about reliable returns. 

With the explosion of growth across this area, Decatur has seen essentially nothing in this regard. 

We just hit one of those explosions and that is why i posted, to let people know that all of the pain and suffering was worth it!!!
