Austin metro is a job creating machine and has been doing it for decades.

They might not come as high again for decades if you don't take the opportunity.

I also have one piece of raw land (there used to a residential home on the property decades ago so there is at least water on the property) in the south bay in a low socio-economic area that is drawing a lot of interest from developers.I own the land free and clear through my LLC and I realize this is a vacant lot but development sites near public transit are hard to come by these days and properties in the area are selling for around $40/SF.

It's sad that over the last couple of decades, there have been a lot of hucksters in and out of this industry that have advised, guided and provided assistance to people to do just that and a lot of them never had any repercussions befall them for doing so. 

I started my sales career selling fuller brush door to door at 14.. it creates life long skills.My dad did door hangers for his real estate business for two decades that's the only way he got leads.but keep in mind he did it on steroids we had a huge printing press in our garage and I printed the door hangers after school. and then we would grab all the neighborhood kids on sat sun to put them out door to door..once he scaled it even bigger U pick up paper passers at the homeless shelters.. did this for ever.. cheapest way to create leads and hundreds if not thousands of them .

Having shared that, my extended family acquired its 'empire' (as I like to refer to it) by forming partnerships with friends and family; it is an alliance that has been maintained and valued for decades. 

If you can sprinkle some identity politics on top of it then you just have a perfect recipe of how to run Democrat state/county for decades.

One self limiting belief that took me over a decade to conquer was the courage to fail.

Finally look for local, lightly-traveled lanes and alleys that haven't been repaved in decades but go over your branch line.

Thanks @Jonathan Klemm - Though it was a couple of decades ago, so it's all a bit relative.
