All Encompassing Mortgage and Real Estate Thread
Dendox replied to UTPhil2006's topic in Business and Markets
Listing agents don't provide disclosures, owners do. The listing agent may have some exposure, but Texas law indicates that the proper target is the prior owner. Fraud in a real estate transaction - https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/Docs/BC/htm/BC.27.htm#27.01 Limitations period is 4 years from the date they knew, or in the exercise of reasonable prudence, should have known of the fraud. The difficult part of cases like this is proving knowledge. How long did the LLC own it? Did they flip it? Making grading/drainage improvements may be evidence of knowledge, or may be evidence that they saw a drainage problem and tried to fix it (again, assuming a flip situation and not living in the home). Then - if you are lucky enough to be able to prove the knowledge element - you get to try and collect from the LLC. Most of the time, the LLC relates to a singular property. If the LLC is, strangely, holding LOTS of properties in its name that might be used to satisfy a judgment, i would imagine they have them leveraged to frustrate collection efforts. -

Assuming this is in Texas? Real issues are laid out by others - have to prove knowledge (hard to do) and establish fraud in order to tag seller. Unless you find a plumber in town who previously made a service call and didn't repair it because "they were gonna sell the home to an unsuspecting buyer" even the most obvious signs of problems don't necessarily prove knowledge. I see this A LOT in foundation cases. - bigger issue there, at least in my experience, are they judgment proof? Likely, yes. Inspector - has its own issues. Limitation of liability provision in the services agreement (usually capped at cost of report). Likely can't assert DTPA claims given it was his "professional opinion" relied upon by the buyer. I would be very concerned about a foundation issue. If there were no drain issues for years and now the new owner has issues, it could be that the foundation moved and fractured the line. There is also an issue with tree roots clogging drain lines. Hard to sue the tree manufacturer.

This is so very true. Driving back to Boerne from baseball game in Lake Travis and it was amazing.

My dad is a recovering addict and drunk. My dad was a stand out high school football player who played for Texas as a freshman and went on the obtain a degree from UT and MD from Southwestern. My mom left him when I was very young because he wasn’t a great role model. I have zero memories of living in a house with them together. I honestly have very few memories of my dad when I was young. My dad taught me love for UT football/baseball/basketball. He took me to as many games as he could starting around age 6. It was great. He moved from his town to my town to be closer to me (or run away from hospital administration that was on to him and his addictions). He was around until I was age 13 - and poof - he was gone again. I saw him very sporadically until age 20 when we coincidentally lived in the same town. Prior to living in the same town - every time I saw him he was drunk or looking for drugs. Quite an impression that left. After living in the same town - the memories are similar. When I had my son 18 years ago dad and I were on speaking terms. He was around and part of my life. I told him he had 1 chance. I don’t have a choice to have him around as a kid - but I had a choice to have him around my kids. For the first time in his life - sobriety really mattered. He got his 17 year chip last month. He earned it. My dad is the kindest human I know. He has nothing. Literally. But would give you half if you need it. He finds a way to help provide medical care to the indigent in the interior of Mexico several times a year. He works food banks. He donates his time. He is present. He is patient. He is a great listener with good advice. The kind that can likely only come from fucking up for 30 years in your prime. He is hokey. Too hokey for his own good. Makes my wife and kids embarrassed around non-family, which is painful because he craves our love and attention. there isn’t a person that I run into that knew my dad before he went off the rails that doesn’t think he is the best doctor and person they ever met. It’s hard to reconcile those stories with the man I knew for a significant part of my childhood. The takeaway - he taught me how to be a fucking great dad. How to be caring and compassionate with those you love and those you don’t know. He also taught me how to fuck up the dad/kid relationship- which has created the drive for me to be the best, most present, helpful, loving, sober (not to be read as never drinking) dad I can be. I love him dearly. I despise many of his decisions. I will miss him when he’s gone. PS - my mom is a freaking saint that deserves a statue.

https://news4sanantonio.com/news/local/northside-isd-officer-indicted-for-shooting-woman-outside-stadium-local-news-near-me-crime-law-public-safety-police-brutalityCop Indicted Interesting that the police version on the day of the incident was "she was aggressive" and "tried to run us over" - but a prosecutor and grand jury thought differently. Would be great if they would release the video. Scottie Scheffler ?

I’ve typed and deleted and retyped 4-5 responses. https://www.expressnews.com/news/article/excessive-force-closings-19405000.php a friend of mine is tried this case. Damages portion was last week. No matter how egregious the behavior - there is very little chance for a verdict/award/settlement that will truly compensate the wronged party or deter the morons. brisket’s desire to have them pay damages out of pensions is fantastic. But a pipe dream. I’d settle for requiring these licensed professionals to have a professional liability type insurance policy with huge limits. If you are clean and no complaints - premiums are reasonable. If you aren’t premiums will be so high you are priced out of the profession. In either event - there is a chance at appropriate compensation for people “made an example of.”- 57 replies
