Quote from @Robert Fry: Hello all.

I would like to move to Austin (as there are many like-minded entrepreneurs there) and want to live on a ranch with 2+ acres, so I can raise goats, chickens, and have fruit and vegetable garden. 

You seem fancied on the idea, will be impulsive on the decision, and a chicken in execution.

Got all fried and tripped that break away rod.A quick call and it was fixed in about 2 hours.Treat them well and respect the neighborhood with quality guests and you will have a smoother time.

North Texas sees a hailstorm every 1-3 years so the carport idea mentioned earlier should be taken into consideration if you don't want to discount rent as much.As for the missing sprinkler system, with how hot our summers are, the grass ends up being fried regardless. 

Quote from @Ashton Fry: Good evening!

But as time goes by, and my focus leans more toward legacy building, I am sometimes conflicted as to where to focus my energy... continue expanding, educating the kids, or enjoying the moment and allowing the kids to do their own thing versus steering them into REI.I find myself taking pauses to enjoy the cash flow, spend time with the kids, and deal with my wife's hobby farm... involving about 70 chickens and two separate gardening areas, while she enjoys working full-time at a local college.

I have quartz for my own house, but I know I won’t be cutting raw chicken on it, not so sure about tenants.

The rest go bankrupt, get divorced, and end up asking "would you like fries with that?"

And when I say a week, I mean 8 hour days for 7 days before Comcast figured out that the modem was fried!
