Can't speak to Manvel or Leander as much other than I have personal friends/family who live in Leander and I love visiting them - it's a great place :) I sent you a PM to connect! 

Hi Tim,There are several effective strategies and resources you can use to stay informed about future development planning in your area, without solely relying on attending city council meetings:City Planning Websites: Most cities have planning department websites where they publish upcoming development projects, zoning changes, and long-term planning documents.

I would look at the effectiveness of what you do, not the nonsense the oddball responder spews.

@Bruce Woodruff:Its not about saving money.. that just happens to be the coincidental effect of sourcing for your own materials and labor.

Hi everyone - I am currently exploring opportunities in the Dallas/Fort Worth area and would love to connect with experienced cash buyers in the area.

I want to do the most cost-effective plan for the house.

Looking forward to connecting

Connect with local real estate agents, property managers, and other investors to get insider knowledge and help identify potential properties.Good luck!

As a matter of fact, I connected lots of investors in SEA to invest here, so I have a decent handle on that market. 

I know it's ridiculous but I always feel a sense of connection whenever I post a question and get so many wonderful responses and people offering their expertise.
