What is Viray?
VIRAY is a business my wife and I started in honor of my late parents Raymond and Viola Coleman. They lived in south Midland (Texas) all of their lives.
The population in south Midland is mostly made up of minorities, and this part of town has not enjoyed the boom in Midland to the extent the rest of the city has. There are many abandoned and neglected properties on this side of town, and city code enforcement here seems a little lax.
My parents left us some rental property, and we were getting lots of calls from folks looking for properties to rent.
So we got the idea to fix up these rental properties, as well as other neglected properties, and sell them to folks at reasonable and affordable prices.
We have been buying properties that no-one else wants, cleaning and remodelling them, and selling to people who would otherwise never have been able to buy a house. This, we feel, is something my parents would have been proud of.
This house is a four bedroom 3 bath brick structure, with a one car garage. The previous owners left all of their possessions there. The house looks as if they just walked away. The bedrooms are full of clothes that have been infested with rat and dog feces.
The refrigerators are still full of food, but there has not been any electricity to the house in at least six months .
Despite the fact that the house has been boarded up, someone broke in and punched holes in the walls to get to the copper wires. They also managed to walk away with a 4 and and half ton air conditioning unit.
We expect clean up will take up to two weeks. We have already filled two open top dumpsters and have at least three more loads of trash.

Can wait to see the finished product.
Sorry, I can't wait to see the finished product and any others that you have done in the past.
looking good
Does the City of Midland offer any assistance, as this increases property value and taxes??
