Every real estate market is a macro-economic area so each will be affected by the economy, jobs, government, etc... in a different way.

Logic tells me you would want to use the alias, but logic and government don't always go hand in hand.You could probably call the local or state department that handles LLC's and get a pretty quick answer (should be a phone number online) and just ask the clerks until you get transferred to somebody that knows the answer.

Are the insurance and government reimbursements months or years behind like in Illinois?

We have mass government corruption and planners that often have their heads up their butts, but things are getting better here... due in no small part to private investors seeing the potential and putting their money on the table.

Seems like this combined with the government plan to sell Freddie/Fannie foreclosures REOs (many being SFHs) in bulk to huge investors/corporations that will supposedly rent them out, means big business/government is taking over what once was the domain of the "mom and pop" investor.

Conventional simply means eligible to sell to the GSE (Government Sponsored Entities) or Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

It seems that we are getting closer and closer to either eliminating or drastically reducing government intervention in the market for financing for housing:Housing regulator wants Congress to shrink Fannie Mae, Freddie MacA gradual draw down seems like a logical solution to me.

Ed Lee Since when did our government ever get anything right the last several decades!!!!!

Last I heard certain parts of Texas had sever water shortfalls.When that happens I have seen government and cities put moratoriums on any new projects or development or adding onto existing development because current resources are tapped out.Also if the sewer system is at capacity they will not let you tap into it.Development might be booming but there will be a time for certain asset classes where you can hit over saturation.You don't want to be the one falling down when the musical chairs stop.
