I am a real estate agent in Austin/San Antonio market that is witnessing how these two markets are some of the hottest IN THE COUNTRY right now.

With sandy beaches and year-round sunshine, our beautiful city conjures up images of celebrities and tanned residents comfortably scattered in a suburban sprawl of roomy single-family homes.

I lived in Franktown years ago, beautiful place to live. 

You can have all the most beautiful features, although if one is not expecting a lot of traffic and finds it once they arrive, that the home is on a street with a dotted yellow line down it, that is a problem.

There are so many instances like the ones above that I've personally witnessed that it's not worth typing all of them here. 

Beautiful, fully renovated investment property.
