Comal Hays REIA will hold its first meeting for 2021 this Saturday! If the weather permits, we will meet at Panera Bread outside, under the covered patio. Currently, rain is in the forecast, so we may shift plans and meet inside. We understand some people will not feel comfortable meeting in person; however, there's plenty of room to spread out.

This month, we'll continue our roundtable discussion format. So much change has occurred since we last met in October. A new administration. New tax laws being proposed. Residential inventory levels are even lower than last year. Plenty of new construction forecast for 2021, if the current price of lumber doesn't outpace demand. Interest rates are at an all time low, but employment has suffered in many U.S. markets.

Locally, the Central Texas boom sees no end in sight. Tesla & Oracle shifted their headquarters to Austin. Samsung, Apple & Amazon are all expanding across the metro. What this will mean for the current decade is anyone's guess. We look forward to discussing these topics and more, as the market nears a post-pandemic economic recovery. Come share your thoughts about investing in 2021.

Whether you're a seasoned pro, looking to do your first deal or a total newbie to the real estate investment game, we hope to see you this Saturday at our February meeting! We ask those who attend to purchase a food and/or beverage item from Panera, to support their business.

Special thanks to meetup co-chairs: @Mike Walker and @Chris Koble

I'm new to the area and this REIA.

Short notice, but I'll try to attend. Can I suggested Krause's Cafe & Biergaten or Muck & Fuss in downtown New Braunfels for future outdoor meetings (if that is the continued theme).

@Ross Kerne Sorry for the short notice. @Mike Walker also posts to Meetup and a Facebook group, which happens a little sooner. Feel free to PM me if you want the details for those as I don't think BP allows posting them here. 

Our standing meeting time for years has been the last Saturday of the month from 10am-12pm. The venue varies, but we are hoping once renovations are complete at the San Marcos Public Library that we will be able to go back to meeting there.
