Throughout the area, many residents love the lively music and arts scene, robust food culture and eclectic vibe, where diversity is celebrated.

Free food, free booze, and a bunch of investors, contractors, and agents.

@Clayton Collins Did you talk to any of these banks: UMB BankAmerican National Bank of TexasAmegy Bank Pinnacle BankTexas Capital BankCadence BankProsperity BankVantage BankBank of Texas Sorry for the delay, just had a baby. 

Between lovely countryside and stunning coastline, great food and super friendly people I love this place!

You don't ask it "underwrite this property for me", you need to baby it and be very specific about what you are asking it to prevent it from getting confused.

New Orleans and Savannah also ranked high for their food and walkability, while cities like Asheville, Austin, and Nashville continue to attract people for lifestyle and tourism reasons.From an investor lens, several of these cities have strong short-term rental potential or are already popular STR hubs.

Serious enough to take food off the table in order to join community that will fast track them to wealth and riches.

In my opinion, i dont think the price can get lower than now which means that from here they will slightly start going up, I reckon it might be very slow, but unless you are in a hurry to sell, i think it can be a very good investment with the years; by now, apart from enjoying the great enviroment and food here, you can also rent it, in high season you can get really good money by renting to foreigners (especially English and Nordics) that follow the spanish sun even in winter!
