Additional accolades are also helpful. 

There's so many more shows for couples (Celine, Britney, Cirque de Soleil), clubs and music festivals for the twenty-somethings, and even more options for the family than before (like the LINQ complex).

The music sounds good, but it is more often an unethical  and/or illegal tune. 

I have a desire to support uplifting/encouraging art in Houston, for the art (music, performing arts, visual arts) is the heartbeat of the culture of a city, help propel the local church I am a part of to new levels of influence and ability to help (they have a large prison and drug addict ministry), and to provide future employment/contract work that can help establish good character and personal development in said employees.Real Estate/Business has the potential to impact on a city level what would be nearly impossible to do in the position of a W2 salary, even at higher levels in the corporate ladder IMO.This impact potential gets me absolutely jazzed.And so since November I have devoured books, burned through podcasts, employed my excel and access skillz, joined a local REI club, met up with local investors, read numerous BP threads/blogs, and now begun the actual deployment of action steps.The beginning of March has marked the real start of a new endeavor along side my engineering day job... heading down the Wholesaling route, seeing as deals are the must-have corner stone for this entire business. 

I am a radically inclusive Motivational Music Minister and am currenly employed with the YMCA as a Behavior Support Specialist, specializing in Mental Health.I was born in Oakland, CA the Summer of '83, raised in Ohio and currently reside in San Diego, CA.

An area like Asheville may not have as large a season difference in rates but maybe there is say an event that drives up rates like a music festival. 

multi family properties is something I want to focus on.I have made a nice amount of money in music production and currently have 200k just sitting in my bank account ready to be worked.

Liberal, lots of music/art sizzle, restaurants, "happening" place, public transit, young people and jobs, RE been on fire for a long time..

or in other words, increasingly individuals/business want to spend more money while they have less available to them. even via credit or 'creative' funding. at least as of Jan 2014 lenders are bound by the 'New Qualified (QM) Rule' at a nationwide level by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which mandates that even 'PRIVATE' loans require the borrower’s total documented debt to income (DTI) including the loan payment isn’t over 43%.so seems more and more than ever resort to creating the facade that they do in order to be taken seriously and appear to be busy actively 'investing' yet more and more properties are in/out/in/out of contract like musical chairs these days until they 'finally' close after much wasted time.http://cashformyclosing.com/proof-of-funds/the plethora of sites out there offering 'proof of funds' letters - some like the above offering proof of 'unlimited' funds for a low monthly 'subscription' really take the cake in what 'proof of funds' is apparently being belittled to. investing in the business arena used to mean expending money for future profit; i'm not sure of the scope of what it means nowadays anymore though.

I think this a great market and near perfect time of year to get some skin in the game in Music City!
