I guess I was hoping that wouldn't be so true regarding the surrounding cities (Round Rock, Georgetown, Cedar Park) vs Austin proper.That being said, College Station holds a special place in my heart and I would definitely consider investing there too.

@Ellis San Jose This property is in Black Rock.

And certainly did we, lifted under every rock, call people we knew until we came across financing for the 15% down payment at closing.

I own a 3 unit from 1890, solid as a rock.

Anyone have a rock solid title co in Arizona they recommend?

I live in a place where 95% of the front yards have rock and cacti.

You rock for giving the clueless a clue. 

I do "Subject To" and I work with students from Round Rock to San Antonio but Dallas is only a hop, skip and a jump from there.I do Owner Carry.

I am a wholesaler here in DFW and if I come across anything that's in the more nicer parts of Dallas such as Greenville Ave area, around White Rock Lake, Highland Park, Preston Hollow, I will make sure I get in contact with you.

top agents in most higher priced markets make well over 1 million a year and of course some of the rock stars in say Manhatton or Beverly hills type areas probably can do 5 times that in commission income.. but I know they will spend a lot on marketing  bill boards  big catered open houses etc etc.
