Largest employers in Austin by an order of magnitude are state/local government, UT, local school districts and a couple of semi-conductor/high-tech manufacturing facilities. 

I would also add there is not just one right or wrong way either.My intent, which I believe was accomplished, was to show others new or semi experienced, how to make a good name for yourself and how to become successful at this strategy.To answer your specific question, a buyer may not know if you are new or seasoned, but IF you learn your market and the proper ways to get real deals, then when you send them off, the buyers on your list will pay attention simply based on the numbers.

Last # I heard was they owned 1300+ properties and there was a very un-official proposal that a contractor friend heard about before it became very semi-public, where someone wanted to make an offer to buy a HUGE number of them and was apparently putting feelers out to rehab them, but from what I heard they figured out exactly what I and a lot of other people figured out already, which is that unfortunately the ONLY outcome that makes $$$ sense for most of those homes is to bulldoze them, which is not a good outcome at all.

I think they have kept that a semi insider secret for a bit .....but now with interwebs....you know, there are no REI secrets.

Derry is home to Pinkerton Academy which is a semi-private school and is popular as well.

In case it is relevant to this discussion, I live in a semi-expensive Northeast market (Seacoast New Hampshire).
