I am just curious about out of state / out of country investing.

If you have no US credit, lenders will want to verify to credit trade lines from your country of origin for the past 2 years.

I’d love to get this group’s thoughts on what to do with 3 acres of undeveloped land (no septic, no water) in the Texas Hill Country that I plan to eventually pass on to my children (read: never sell because it’s family land).

Some like the country/laid back feel.

Do people from around the country retire to southern CA?

Haha) You can see the culmination of this with the recently announced redevelopment on East Broadway around Shelby Street, which is also getting a lot of positive pressure from Paristowne just to the east of it.I've posted my feelings about this plenty of times on BP but inside 264 I feel pretty strongly that the next POPs are the Warehouse District (east Portland) and the eastern half of the Russell neighborhood (east of 22nd street).

I’m a lender in TX and all across the country. 

Both parents were immigrants, I owned a small business that I worked hard at, saved up my money and invested it.Actually most millionaires in this country are first generation.

This means the 2nd CoA ruling is good law in those states, but because SCOTUS didn't rule on it means it is not good law across the country. 

Brentwood and Franklin are located in Williamson county which is one of the wealthiest counties in the country.
