<<In a report, experts assembled by the Urban Land Institute identified 1,350 acres within Austin that could fit into the city’s current zoning framework for “transit-oriented development,” or TOD. Anchored by a transit station, a TOD features a mix of office, residential, retail, entertainment, and other spaces in a compact walkable and bikeable area.>>

Thanks to our few regular attendees. I am getting more request for this meet, so we will keep trying to grow it. Best of luck to all of us. 

When you are analyzing the MLS , go one step further when you see that it won't cash flow. Work the numbers backwards and ask, at what price will this property cash flow?  This will 1) help you know a deal when you see it and 2) Might give you some confidence to make an offer close to your number. Offers are free to make. And sellers are free to say no. But they might say yes if you give them the opportunity. San Antonio can be high for days on market compared to some other metros, and you never know when a seller has become tired of holding out. 

Started my first ever vegetable garden during the time of covid. Using the "square foot gardening method." It's been fun. Failing forward.

Also camping, fishing, hiking,cycling, banjo, uke, and XBOX.

PS : I'll try to stretch your 2 lower map circles just a little bit more east. 

Welcome. You've got a great network of agents there. If you also want to talk to regular folks, my wife and I are mom and pop investors and happy to share our experiences in Austin and San Antonio. We have been doing a virtual meetup, which we did last night. Will post another soon for October. In the meantime, feel free to reach out. Good luck on your journey.
