“Evan Trachten at LCI—who has a knack for spotting clues to real-estate mysteries (like this one)—figured out why BOA was moving so slowly.

Factors-Sunny, great weather 8 months a year, large inward migration.1 Metropolis, lots of empty federal land.Industry-  Aerospace, chips, transportation, construction.Stupid politicians-  really- out politicians are stupider than yours (wherever you are).  

Robert is spot on.  

We, at HomeUnion, are working on providing all the market/neighborhood information in one spot to save investors some time.

Hey Autstin,You and I are in the exact same spot, hopefully by next year I'll be able to get my 1st property as well.

I have spotted a few myself but need to repair my credit right now because of falling for the "guru trap".I want to get into the Austin or Houston market, but I am more familiar with San Antonio.

Another thing you should learn is personality types and how to spot them.  

Brian, Congratulations on relocating to sunny Florida!

I have a similar property for about the same price (Includes Two Parking Spots) but the HOA fee is $702 / Month (CAM, Exterior Building Maintenance, Heat, Lawn Care, Management, Master Insurance Policy, Reserve Funds, Sewer, Snow Removal, Trash Removal, Water) - Is this HOA fee too expensive even though it includes all those amenities? 

You'll still get the knuckleheads but they are easy to spot.
