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

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

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

I would not put so much on an appraisal report.A number of reasons might be the answer for this lower appraisal report:1- What city is this property located?

Satanic, my foot.This just looks like the result of run-of-the-mill substance abuse and mental illness issues.

You forgot to put your location in your profile.

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

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

This location is really dry.
