On the other hand if they are a sponsor that is experienced in stopping a skin in the game, that's a huge red flag for me.c) how open to scrutiny are they?

If so that can work in very specific red hot markets.. however experience has dictated to me over the decades that land can take a long time to sell .. many times has to be sold on contract to move it.. or if its cash you have to have the lowest price parcel of any similar ones on the market to move it timely for cash..

One recommendation is find a good property manager, he will be an important key player

Austin has been a high growth city and likely is six to 12 months ahead in the business cycle as many smaller cities.Of those Three, San Antonio provides you the same legal backdrop (Tx) and also geographical access (same day drive) and accelerating immigrant population growth (GDP growth requires much more immigration both red/blue agree on this in private)

The opposite is true.Is it a good idea to hire a basketball coach so you can be a better player?

That is a huge red flag.

@Micheal RobinsonThis is a red flag.

Colorado loves adding red tape! 

@Suzanne Player, I suspect that can be buffed out of the surface.
