Austin is usually last in and first out of any recession because of our huge government and university job base.  . 

The areas do not have a history of appreciation and almost universally are in net negative population growth areas. 

I can easily have a 2 bedroom apartment down there, and being close to Brown University I can get at least $1100 for rent.

In short, they don't like it.Rather, civil servant's #1 priority is their pension and the codes are explicit about zoning uses, so they're not going to be flexible about much of anything, which seems to be a universal.

I am a freshman at the University of Sioux Falls and I been investing since I was a 16 years old when I bought my first bitcoin!

My name is Michael and I'm a 24 year old graduate from The Ohio State University with a passion for entrepreneurship.

I personally like to do deals in infill locations, by a university, or by the beach.

We've talked about investing in Anaconda, since it is within reach but Butte really piques our interest; as well, since we love the security that a university town and job growth offer long term.

My goal is to have healthy and striving portfolio so that I could get out of the 'rat race' and go into RE and work for myself full time.Before my first deal a year and a half ago, my RE experience was limited to a minor in RE at Suffolk University, getting my RE Salesperson License in MA, reading BP books and listening to the podcast! 

Planning for a future investment in a college university area I realize talking about "money orders and cashiers checks" can go over many college students heads.
