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.

I am an air traffic controller in Northern Virginia.

Also, I know a lot of people who advertise on Facebook do not use their filters properly.There is so much you can do with them, and if you advertise it correctly the cost is really low because you are advertising to potential people who want to see your ads :)P.S - I find this guide very helpful in bringing traffic to your listing.

I think I've listened to just about all the podcasts (I can't think of any better way to be productive in this Southern California traffic!).

The state of Florida has public information on traffic movement on state roads around the state.

I cannot fix your neighbor issue, or change the traffic noise.

Directing traffic to the internet is a great idea.

The other dilemma I have is that I currently rent close to my daughter's school (NW Austin) and would hate to buy and live on the East side (traffic).

If you want to make a change, consider using TrafficMaster Allure Ultra Vinyl Plank for the high traffic areas or throughout the unit.  

That's where paid traffic comes in.
