I took no deductions, sometimes I'd get some money back, sometimes I'd pay in an extra thousand dollars or two, but it wasn't such a big deal.Running a small business for the past 8 years, I was a weekend warrior, coffee break maniac, and late night administrative machine.

For those veterans of Central Texas real estate, my question centers on the topic : how to combat both the over-valuation of Austin-area properties and saturation of "weekend warrior" investors who simply overpay for distressed homes.Obviously, we are working in a market with high-demand -- due to the 100+ new residents we gain on a daily basis -- and short-supply.

I have suggested 4 names which were visionaries, masterminds, brainstormers and warriors.

Indoor movie theater, basketball court, 8 car garage, 7 bedrooms each with a walk in closet, 7 bathrooms, pool outside with pool house. 

Just remember when you hit the "winning" basketball with 3 seconds left there is always a chance that someone will hit a 3 to beat you at the buzzer!

Where they fail in Football they are making up in basketball (for the time being until LeBron bolts again). :)

It turns out that learning how to farm within the company of comrades who have shared your experiences is some pretty good "dirt therapy" for returning combat warriors who have some serious PTSD/shellshock.

At an onset management, I cetainly have no problem with an Owner who wants to do some weekend warrior projects or hire the contractors themselves.  

I flipped roughly 20 properties from 2002-2009, while working a full time job and coaching my sons basketball teams.

If it's cheap to expect weekend warriors who watch HGTV to just go nuts on price as they think they'll do the work themselves and make a fortune (they won't).
