there are a few other factors that led to this point though.

I do have the honor of developing the subdivision with the highest foreclosure rate in Harris County. Boon doggle of epic proportion by the city of Houston giving down payment assistance to people that never should have owned a house.

and bonus for you that they did!

Another thing was builders telling buyers what their monthly payment would be x and leaving out insurance, taxes and HOA fees. Those 3 are what brought many people down. Most first time buyers have no clue about the additional costs associated with owning a home since they came from renting apartments

Taxes? WTF.

HOA's are stealing properties right now.

as a developer you just about have to have them these days to control amenities and dictate continuity in the product being built. don't need Cletus the Slack Jawed Yokel buying one of the first lots and parking his trans am on the grass when you're trying to sell the lots in phase II.

Guy was nice when I asked him to remove the Elvis posters he had facing out to the street instead of curtains

Sup?

All you can eat buffet
