Excited to Join! Real Estate Investor from Austin, TX + Tesla’s Impact on Our Market?

[Forrest Webber]

Hi BiggerPockets community!  My name’s Forrest Webber, and I'm an acquisitions agent and real estate investor based in Austin, TX. With over 15 years in the industry, I’ve had the opportunity to work on a range of projects, from residential redevelopments to mixed-use acquisitions across Texas.

Today, I noticed some news about the ongoing expansion of Tesla’s gigafactory (https://www.bizjournals.com/austin/news/2024/10/28/tesla-gig...) here in Austin—an impressive 10 million square feet! It got me thinking about how major developments like this are impacting property values, demand, and investment opportunities around our area. Has anyone else been following these developments? I’d love to hear your thoughts on how it's shaping our market.

Looking forward to connecting, learning from, and contributing to this community!
