For the third consecutive year, a study by The Wall Street Journal and Moody’s Analytics crowns Austin the country’s hottest job market among major metro areas.In ranking the 55 metros with at least 1 million residents, the study looked at five attributes: job growth, unemployment rate, share of adults working or looking for work, change in the size of the workforce, and change in average weekly wages.

The property was worth around 295k-300k, built-in 2011, and in one of the hottest areas in the Triangle.

At the time of going under contract, the property was worth around 295k-300k, built-in 2011, and in one of the hottest areas in the Triangle.

Knowing this information, I negotiated the seller down another 15k by stating we could include a balloon payment at the twelve-month mark.At the time of going under contract, the property was worth around 295k-300k, built-in 2011, and in one of the hottest areas in the Triangle.
