Although average market prices in Austin are higher then San Antonio/Houston/Dallas, we are growing at a much higher rate.

Last thing I'll say is you've clearly gotten to where you are by following instincts and identifying growing markets; stick with that and don't abandon that "base".

You can exponentially grow cash.Forth, which is a spinoff of third, leveraging will get you a greater return than all cash (meaning buying your equity).  

Again there are things to look for when doing this, you can own a small part of a 2 million MF building that will grow and cash flow, or you can take a 60k commission. 

We have been renting up until now and with the growing family we are thinking of buying a home.

Podcasters...for anyone breaking even or actually making money off your (real estate related) podcast, I'm wondering if you can point me to ideas on how best to grow number of listeners, if and when to add advertising, and generally how many downloads/listeners you achieved before breaking even? 

This business is guaranteed as long as you are willing to go though the growing pains.

It is important for you to be comfortable with the asset you are purchasing, then have your PM manage and grow that for you.  

I’m looking for scalable solutions as we grow our portfolio.

My biggest concern is the growing lack of good domestic NPL inventory.
