The other wild card would be interest rates.

I don't know if I'd be as wild about buying today if I had a +/- 5 year horizon. 

Judging from past performance, the market is not prone to more wild swings of Austin and other larger Texas cities.

For example, my lease has the following clause in it:NEIGHBORHOOD CONDITIONS: Tenant is advised to satisfy him or herself as to neighborhood or area conditions, including schools, proximity and adequacy of law enforcement, crime statistics, proximity of registered felons or offenders, fire protection, other governmental services, availability, adequacy and cost of any speed-wired, wireless internet connections or other telecommunications or other technology services and installations, proximity to commercial, industrial or agricultural activities, existing and proposed transportation, construction and development that may affect noise, view, or traffic, airport noise, noise or odor from any source, wild and domestic animals, other nuisances, hazards, or circumstances, cemeteries, facilities and condition of common areas, conditions and influences of significance to certain cultures and/or religions, and personal needs, requirements and preferences of Tenant.

Executors job is to maximize the estate not TAKE FROM it  kind of wild you would not know the moral issue here and we know there is a lot of moral issues with wholesalers :)

Honestly, it was wild but with the help/guidance of a very knowledgeable local lender I got everything good enough for the green light from the appraiser and we were off to the closing table!

It is wild for me to think, as I write this, that the distance I have traveled financially in 8 years is simply amazing.Having good credit is indeed important.  

Tax rate in the area (this can be wildly different in some states, counties, and cities)?

Hi,Chris, This was a bank owned house but the REO broker and neighbors told me the prior owner had 8 dogs that ran wild through the house, and judging by the smell of the interior I would agree.

Hopefully, it's not one of those wild architectural designs reminiscent of the opera house in Sidney, Australia.Re-purposing buildings is a specialty that I have no practical experience at however I've marveled at a number of establishments that I've either visit or patronized.
