Besides, most of those guys that have the ridiculous ARVs and shady deals dont last long and dont realize the couple of bucks they might profit off of someone isnt worth it- morally or for there business reputation.

The first "colonizers" are the more common molds like Cladosporium, Aspergillus, Penicillium, Ascospores, Basidiospores, etc.  

Originally posted by @Pavel Sakurets: Yes Scott, this doesn't make sense, but this is what Tom Konutsen (chief real estate investigator) from the Dep of Commerce said: "If we find that you pay unlicensed person that will lead to a solicitation of the listing or sale of RE, we would fine you 10k and revoke your license''Again, there are some ridiculous laws out there, so I'm not arguing that this law exists. 

That's how you keep prices down, not by putting a gun on landlords headsLandlord would suffer either way but at least prices would be back to fair value and there would be no housing shortage; there wouldn't be ridiculous artificial bubbles like in LA where land is extremely abundant and prices totally disconnected from reality .

We're not building more land and we haven't colonized Mars (yet) <enter Elon Musk>.

I will have to verify that for myself because you can certainly see how that seems ridiculous, right?

I'm sorry if this topic is ridiculous ..

I agree with @Natalie Kolodij, I know a lot of people my age here in Nashville that are in ridiculously over-priced apartments or condos because it's "cool", or in a newly gentrified popular area. 

Regardless of whether they file a homestead or not, there are today over 70,000 Texas residents who owner-occupy their multi-family properties...it appears none of them can take cash out of the free-and-clear property they live in---ridiculous, an unlawful restraint on alienation, a handicap to duplex citizen-owners, and a sad reflection on the intelligence of our Texas legislature and mortgage lobby here. 

When it comes to turnkey there are plenty of them out there and you'll get one.The one caveat to that is if the appraisal is just ridiculously low.
