RE:AI greed in Texas
DryCreek said: It's not an issue if you own. What do you mean by "own"? You mean own property? If so, yes, I plan to purchase 10-20 acres (or more depending on the price) in cash. Build a metal pole barn, and then work on selling my home here in NYS, in the midst of moving everything down to the barn downstate. Then build a new home or convert the barn into a barndominium.
