Ditto Dollar Tree.

That is myopic in my opinion because there are tremendous deals in Texas markets like Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, etc.You need to look at the forest (income and expenses), not just the tree (property taxes) to get a complete and holistic picture of the property's financial performance.

I really hope the Tea Party fellows can reverse the trend.

We spend a half hour each day crying over trees, so we make up for it.

We own and operate a choose & cut Christmas tree farm.

Means a heavy discount, and cash only offers - just my cup of tea for buying purposes :DNow, are they planning on trashing while they still expect to stay in there?

Here's what you get for those stays at the lake:Insurance, real estate taxes, utility bills and a neighbor that calls to see if you're going to cut tree limbs that block their view.You'll have trips to go mow grass, pick up the yard, and winterize the place.

I've got a big city planted tree in the way (you know how the city is very strict about the trees.

Since I'm not building, I don't have zoning, tree ordinance, extended permitting issues.  

It might not be your cup of tea.
