Im not as close to pulling a trigger yet but i am looking and learning.

by and large if a parcel of land in any major metro city was on MLS  and did not sell then it was overpriced probably by a lot... or has some other hair on it.IN markets were new construction is viable and hot land deals sell in a matter of hours or days at the most to builders looking for lots.my take on Texas as whole ( not Austin though) is there is so much land that builders and developers have a lot of options and unless you have some sort of infill in a super hot spot  your dealing with a parcels with limited value or desirability or physical constraints for environmental or regulatory impediments.   

Buy towels, linens in quantity when they're on sale to account for that hair grease that just won't come out.  

One lump rent increase might trigger an unwanted vacancy.

I pulled the trigger and after a few coats of paint, some small handyman work, new siding, and a soon-to-be-replaced stove that died a week after I bought the place, I'll have tenants living there.

I'm pretty much back in the game now and about to pull the trigger.  

Foreclosure by definition is the termination of the redemption rights of an interested party to property.I suppose that may seem like splitting hairs but the idea of stripping, which is a 'thing' is not this thing.

Some people pass on so many deals by the time they pull the trigger the market has changed and they missed out.Legally if a realtor is involved they are not allowed to use the multiple offer situation unless there are really mutliple offers but they also do not have to disclose anything to you. 

Within five years, it had helped trigger a complete breakdown of civil order and the city's population began to rapidly decline.On July 23, 1967, police attempted to break up a notorious "blind pig" in the heart of the new Model City.

Part of the challenge now is just pulling the trigger.
