@Rishika Garimella I am a local home inspector and investor in the area. i think Austin is a sleeping giant right now. the rates are really scaring away buyers. but since competition is so low right now, its a great time to snag some property while its not being ripped apart by investors. i think the hutto manor area is a great choice, once that freeway opens up that connects taylor to round rock, it will definitely become a point of interest.

My wife has been handling all the complaints that we are filing with the DA, etc.If nothing else we should all band together and file separate complaints to whoever may help us. 

Pull off the Band-Aid.

While migration to Austin city limits has cooled, the surrounding areas are experiencing remarkable growth and present strong investment opportunities.In places like Williamson County and Hays County, fast-growing markets such as Cedar Park, Round Rock, Buda, and Kyle rank among the nation’s fastest-growing areas.

To date, I have a small portfolio in the Rock County area.
