Hedge Hills

djtres: Sorry about the use of the word there instead  of their  but you understood what I was saying.  What do you expect from a graduate of the Memphis city schools.

For starters, I wouldn't live in Memphis, much less Colonial Acres,or anywhere near that part of town. That's why I chose to leave Memphis after I got my Master's degree.

Memphis is a crime ridden, generally rather uneducated, dirty little town with a lot of potential and too much racial divide to ever realize it.

And, no, I haven't "ventured into that business". I am a teacher - I work with Autistic children daily.

I sense so much animosity towards my father here. Why? O.K. So the white with red shutters is ugly. I agree with you on that.  But, instead of having such animosity and venom, have you guys ever just tried politely going to tell him that the colors are offensive and that ya'll would help repaint if he would  just agree to it?

He needs to sell his rentals anyway. They are a total drain - they don't MAKE him money as you seem to think. They COST him money. It's a stupid investment, especiially in this economy. He has tried to sell much of it, but with no luck. Did you know that?

Did you know that he has tried multiple times to evict many of the people, even at one point being attacked by a pitbull? Evictions are not as easy as one might think. It takes him months to get someone out, even if they don't pay their rent.

Personally, I wish he'd never bought the property. The stress of losing money hand over

fist on it, and the stress of people like you who seem to want to attack rather than talk have created major health problems.  His family is encouraging him to bundle it and sell it to get rid of the stress, so you may be rid of the problem before you know it. But, my bet is that whoever buys in this economy won't be much better for you guys.

As I said, he is not in good health. Guess who inherits the property when he dies? You got it - ME. 

 My first inclination would be to bundle and sell, but if ya'll can't start being more civil about this and finding more constructive, civil ways on your end to handle your issues with him, you can count on seeing me in Memphis after his death. You'll find me in Colonial Acres, hand painting every damn last one of those houses - PURPLE with lime green trim. They happen to be my two favorite colors. :)

Too long winded and pedantic.....didn't read.

Huntsville must be pretty boring for you to check in on Memphis.  

Publics right again the thin skinned liberal brent just won't get it.Well maybe when Pipena and his jack pot taco show up next door with 12 relatives she will come around. As for that idiot painting his houses  ghetto green  why wait till the slum lord passes on? Get started,please add some ole pickup trucks to! SHE IS THE RACIST!! It is so obvious!!
