Own A House In Houston For $150 And 200 Words

There's a catch.

So technically, yes, you could own a house in Houston for the low low price of $150 and a 200 word essay. You have to send in the money and essay upfront though, so it's more like a chance to own a house, or the strangest crowd funding ever.

If you've got the cash and the verbiage, you can 'submit an offer'. I've never been to Texas, but they claim the house is in a trendy area near downtown.
