The city itself is HUGE geographically speaking and the traffic is even worse.

We ride our bikes to Gruene too, but now the traffic is getting bad because of construction.

It is what I want it to be, a traffic cop!

Depending on the traffic it is about five minutes from little rock.

Basically its the process of creating buyer excitement by offering your house using a silent auction process that gets a lot of traffic to your house.The concept is that you advertise your house on Craigslist, in the Newspaper, and using some bandit signs (if you can), that you are going to be auctioning your house and the starting bid is lets say 50% of what the value really is.Then when people come to your open house to look, they can write their offer on a bidding sheet.The key is that all your bidding instructions explain that they are bidding on their "OFFER" and it is NOT an absolute auction.Then on the night of the open house you call each bidder and ask them to increase their offer over the current high bidder.Then if you like the highest bid, you can get them to sign an agreement and see if they can close.Thats always my first method...The second method of choice would be a lease with option to buy.

Plus I imagine I’d get stuck in traffic much more frequently then my current 8 min commute.Also, how did you manage to get such low interest rates on investment property mortgages?

I owned a place on Fauntleory across from the ferry and Ferry traffic made it difficult for the tenant to get in and out.

Most of us drive enough already in our daily lives so it's nice to be able to walk to a restaurant or beach without having to get in the car, deal with traffic, parking, and then worry about getting pulled over on the way back after a few drinks. 

A good commercial broker will already know that segment of the market, potential areas to consider and avoid, can pull you any report needed for traffic flow, densities, distances to major employers, ports, logistics scores, etc.

You can get very good property for the money, and in Lubbock we do not rely on energy, but mainly have a medical HUD and Texas Tech University which will always drive traffic and bring people to this area.
