I work mostly south of Beltway 8 in Pearland, Clear Lake, and League City down to Texas City and Galveston.

The exterior paint and siding are in great shape as well.https://www.redfin.com/IL/Crystal-Lake/201-Sunset-...https://www.redfin.com/IL/Crystal-Lake/100-N-Cryst...https://www.redfin.com/IL/Crystal-Lake/51-Erick-St...https://www.redfin.com/IL/Crystal-Lake/934-Notting...

There is a local meetup in Lake forest every month that you should check out. http://www.meetup.com/Orange-County-Real-Estate-Investor-Networking/If you would like to meet up before then and talk about investing let me know.

Try Lake County (Clearlake area) or Mendocino County (Willits) as that is one of the only places nearby you can find prices close to what your looking for. 

I'm not qualified to advise you on the deal itself, but I can assure you that, if you've carefully studied the market, you know more than the appraiser.I could go on all day about ridiculously low appraisals, but I'l give you just one: Had an appraisal for a buyer on a building with $126k or so in annual rents in Silver Lake in LA (a hot neighborhood).

Round Rock has a master plan to expand its trail network from Hutto to Lake Travis.

These properties are PRICED RIGHT, especially considering 100% OWNER FINANCING available and all 4 - totalling almost 70 acres near Lake Riley - can be sold as a package deal.

This afternoon a group of people from our team are having a meet-up at a nearby lake.  

I heard there is a group in the Silver Lake area that meets for lunch on Tuesdays sometimes. but I'm not really sure of details.

It's nothing like selling a lake house to their brother in law.
