It sounds like you've got your path all figured out; it is always great to hear when someone knows how they are going to get the ball moving.May I recommend that you set up some keyword alerts for things like "Houston," "multifamily" and other terms of interest.

My thoughts on this mater are no intellectual exercise.

Always on the ball with relevant info and links!

You also have to understand the paperwork and how to "exercise" your option.

Pick a high and low estimate for vacancy (assuming your tenant moved out) and assume a high and low number for getting the unit rent ready.This would be a good exercise no matter which direction you chose.

I would tie the exercise price to a new appraisal, whatever it is.

I know the city has to get involved as they own the meters, but some ball park figures would be nice. 2.

No reason to go to Portland, but I did spend all summer in Eureka, CA area for the exercise and great weather.

I can turn it off at the city's curbstop, or I'm thinking of installing my own curbstop or a ball valve outside.

Firstly, let me say that I apologize if this gets long winded. I have a few issues but will break them up into separate posts to help make things easier. Since I haven't closed a deal, I figured this was the best ...
