The only reason I even offered that is that the area has started to come around a little bit and if the neighborhood renovation keeps moving towards that area (2 blocks away)it could turn out to be pretty fruitful.

. $40K alone on one 3 blocks from my office.

I see some go it's just over the other street close by is a comp for ARV of 90k and base buying off of that.In these Urban cities it can go street by street and block by block between a great area,ok area,and a war zone.In a suburban to rural area many times the the property values are the same for the unit mix and the safety of the area is the same.Some people buy trash with cash but I don't like it.Too many things can go wrong.I like to stay patient and look for great deals in good areas.The number of beat up houses on the street is critical.What does the crime report show for that street versus violent and non-violent crimes?

Real Estate Agents,Title Companies,Investors,Lawyers, Contractors and most important Wholesalers.Thanks for spending time with the new kid on the block.

There is an old grain tower less than 2 blocks from my property and we see horses being ridden down the (paved) street on the weekend?

Most of the due diligence can be done from your computer, however, you can come across a 3+2 1500 sq. ft. home on a street where all the other homes are the same, yet two blocks down, the homes can be quite different and two blocks up, different again.

But in Texas, a Texas lawyer would fairly easily be able to block the parent company from being sued: see my article on this: (article link removed)However, it's possible the plaintiff/creditor could bring a second lawsuit limited solely to 'piercing the veil'.
