Even going east (Bastrop) or west (marble Falls) is attractive to alot of investors right now due to price point and statistically equal cash flow. 

For starters, LLC's are statistically less likely to be audited than standard corporations. 

They can also see details on the properties such as address, statistics, data on the loan, pictures etc.When we have new offerings they can see those too and invest at the click of the mouse and electronically sign their subscription documents.

A good broker should be able to guide you in your investment decisions in terms of giving you insights about different markets and asset classes, current trends in those markets, any other specialized info and statistics that they have access to and that is not publicly available.

My search has included analyzing the prices of homes in these markets, driving around the neighborhoods, checking on occupancy restrictions, student permits if required, college enrollments, crime statistics, etc.

Not bad for mid March.Never trust a statistic you have not faked yourself.

The towns can vary greatly in several demographics and statistics.

Statistics show that you must "farm" an area up to 6-9 times before you see a response and have at least 9 "touches" before you may hear back from someone.
