I use to live not too far from there and you are correct there is a ton of opportunity here in the state which is why I am so confident about investing here.

After all, you are trying to be helpful and inspire confidence.

There are a few reasons that reading from a script doesn't work:1. you don't sound confident. 

Now I have a few good partners up there but I am nowhere near as confident in them as the people I am going to start working with in Chicago and NW Indiana.  

Maybe this is me being naive, but I'm not intimidated at the moment because I feel fairly confident in what Austin is and which areas have potential or lack thereof.

.-2 hour required confirmation after winning bid or they cancel the deal-Stated 24 hours to sign contract that's 106 pages long, needs to be signed by both myself and my realtor, which they shortened to 4 business hours because they were late sending the contract out....or they cancel the deal-Stated 24 hour turn around on sending earnest money and confirmation, but they won't give me the wire instructions and can't tell me when they will be available......or they cancel the deal....Trying to keep up with this will travelling, holding down a full-time job, and juggling offers on some other properties.......this one is intense!

In our case, it will be traveling as well as wine-and-dining.

I travel mon thru fri all over the US for my job so it makes owning real estate that much more difficult to manage.What would i like to do?

Problems are to become an integral partner with you, traveling wherever you go and ever ready to show up at any hour.

Also, if you're worried about recourse, you're not confident on what you're getting your "friends and family" into.
