(to do it's part to revitalize the area).Ask for 15 year tax abutments for all boarded up buildings brought back to life.Do not let them plant trees in the verge areas, as they obscure the views of the buildings and the area is already very crowded.Good Luck!.

While the median home price in Austin is indeed down 16% compared to this time last year, this obscures the fact that pricing has stabilized in recent months and even ticked up a bit on a month-over-month basis.Here’s a chart showing the median price of a single-family home in Austin by month over the past 12 full months:Though single-family homes were down about 13% from this time last year, the median price of a single-family home in Austin in May 2023 was up nearly 11% from February.Despite the cooling market, inventory has held steady in recent months, with both Austin and the greater metro sitting around 3.5 months.

The next post after that will show you how to research what you can actually build once you know what zone your site is in.Zoning is one of the more obscure aspects of the development process, but in our experience, once you acquire significant strategic knowledge and create practices around this research and identification process, the value and marginal utility to be generated can be very significant. 

At best they obscure the ownership.  

Well there is this one obscure tactic if you live in a Red state that could work but for you it's easier to take a loan from the existing 401K to start investing in hard assets.Anyway let me know you would like a referral to my checkbook ira contact.
