Missed Austin? There’s No Cryin’ In RE Investing — Learn, And Don’t Miss Out Again

Posted @ 9:11 pm - Filed under Cool Info, Austin

A new Federal report is out, and the bottom line is — Texas rocks, Big Time.

I screamed from the mountain top last year that real estate investors should be following me to Austin. While most of the country is a net negative on values, they’re up nearly 8%. Clients who bought there are up over 2% since December for Heaven’s sake. Same goes for the whole Dallas-Fort Worth (known as the Metroplex)

You may have missed Austin, but you don’t have to miss what’s happening in a handful of other regions, and not only in Texas. Kansas City has some stellar opportunities, two of which I’m poring over now.

Once the holiday fun has worn off, get hold of me and let’s talk. This is the best buying opportunity I’ve personally seen in my career. It’s not even close.

Now, for today’s theme music. You gotta pick yerself up and roll on. Crank it up.

  • Oh, and did you read Kansas was up 2.7%? Missouri up 1.9%? The KC metro as a whole up 1.3%. Not spectacular numbers but right on par for this “slowdown.” We were 2 of only 7 states to not have the drop.

    I keep saying it. Some pay attention. Some don’t.

    But, wow. Austin up 8%. In this environment that is fantastic.

  • Great site by the way; I’ve enjoyed reading your comments over on BiggerPockets and knew you’d have a superior blog.

    You’re right on the mark about Texas (and Austin); we agree that Austin’s “maturing” a bit, but there are several markets in Texas that are zooming for both multifamily and single family.

    We agree that there are unbelievable opportunities here now and more on the horizon - to the diligent researcher go the spoils.

  • Thanks Mark — The opportunities available now are there as long as you’re willing to do the hands on, boots on the ground, research.

    Don’t be a stranger, OK?
