I'm located in Dallas, TX, and looking to network with other like-minded individuals.

In smaller/tourist locations the best places fill up fast and knowing you need a reservation is huge.

. # of times you talk with your CPA/tax planning (generally tax planning is going to cost more)It depends on the CPA, location, etc.

I would sell and invest in a better location closer to home.

I currently have three rental properties all located near the local college and the refinery in the area. 

My area is somewhat geographically bounded by various different mountain ranges and the agencies from “East” or “Down South” might get 1-2 listings a year but will likely never gain much of a foothold due to their distant locations.

So, when asking is Austin still a good place to invest, maybe one should add: relative to what other location.  

You forgot to put your location in your profile.

Look for mixed-use properties with a Main Street vibe or location.

The landlord or his agent shall notify the tenant within 30 days after the beginning of the lease term of the name and address of the bank or institution where his deposit is currently located or the name of the insurance company providing the bond
