Peeps still have to live somewhere and there is still some benefit to owning a home than renting .. it could just be over building in your area as well.. you see that a lot with condo developments the lag time to get them up is so long that by the time they come to market the market cant absorb more.Not sure in Austin other than there was from what I understand a large run up.. but I can see luxury pricing in Texas being an issue with the prop tax's that are quite a bit higher than other parts of the country but that is usually mitigated for texas residence who don't pay state income tax as there is none in Texas.. so I think texas for TExans is a great investment long term.

A little about me, I'm a full-time woodworker looking to add some value and benefit from a relationship with either a new investor or someone more seasoned that needs help rehabbing properties themselves without using a general contractor.

I would however, like for them to get into this so they can see the benefit of real estate and an entrepreneurial thought process.

Your fiancée would benefit from looking at getting a w2 job because off the books income is not going to count.

If you can get it to 100% occupied and paying, you would essentially double the value. 

If not, you can get a lot of the benefits without doing much during the project.

I’m trying to give the benefit of the doubt and think maybe they’re on vacation and simply forgot to renew the website and I’ll hear back soon.
