Peterson: Texas-sized risk to acquire ‘free’ land

Of course, when I see an ad for “20 acres of Texas Land FREE,” I’m going to check it out.

What the heck? What’s the hook?

You have to buy 40 to get 60 at 0 percent down and $168 a month. There’s an outline of Texas, filled with the print “own a piece of Texas.” I feel as though I should add an exclamation point.
