Ashley -   Our partners (Husband & Wife team also) bought and manage an STR in Rehoboth Beach DE, 3 hours away from us (With light traffic and making all the lights!) 

traffic, noise.....I stay away from it...

Austin still has room to grow outward but it has bad traffic, which will likely lead to higher prices in the prime areas. 

Sounds illegal or at least a good way to not get traffic inside unit.

She just got a new job about 1 hour from here (normal commute for this town) but I think she might be underestimating the traffic on I95 (its really only 20 miles). 

I'm currently residing in Mundelein, IL and a lot of meetups I'm finding are either in or closer to Chicago (which are impossible to get to with traffic after work).

I’m new so I don’t have any to contribute that are specific to REI, but from my other businesses.Waze + a calendar connection - easiest way to get traffic notices for departure time for your next meeting Outlook - it’s more powerful than the default iOS mail when it comes to signatures, scheduling, and managing emails Evernote - great note taking and overall brainstorming tool Dropbox - self-explanatory.

There have been a few people interested when the listing went live, now a little less traffic. 

Will you get year around traffic, or is it a seasonal destination?

Is there a lot of visibility from the road, high traffic counts, great access in and out, plenty of parking or if urban core high walkability score?
