Houston's real estate market may be booming, but one local group is encouraging homeowners not to sell. Activists with the "T.R.I.L.L. Collective" --- which they say stands for Truth, Relevance, Intelligence, Leadership and Love -- urge residents in Houston’s Sunnyside and South Park neighborhoods to hold on to their properties. The group’s founder Ezenachi Rasidi says homeowners are being tempted with quick cash offers from investors that are actually lower than what their properties are really worth. Activists are worried many homeowners are taking the quick cash, before researching the full value and financial implications of selling family homes. Activists believe families in this mostly-black neighborhood are being taken advantage of by investors and that future generations here may be priced out of the community.
