It's official...I'm a landlord! I am so excited about this new part in my life. I've been wanting to invest (purchase) property in Austin (besides owning our home) for quite some time. I've always loved the idea of flipping (yes, I watch the shows on HGTV), but I simply don't have the time to stop my photography to do such a project. This August, when the wedding world had quieted down a little, I began my extensive search for my first investment property. There are two types of property investors, those who are most concerned about cash flow and don't really care too much about their properties and those who love their property and are more in a buy and hold situation. I am definitely the latter. I absolutely loooove this place I bought. It's on 22nd street (at the corner of Pearl). It has an old Austin look, but the inside has been completely gutted (down to the studs) and remodeled. It's 2 bedrooms, has a new kitchen, new bathroom (with great subway tile), new hardwoods, granite counter tops, vaulted ceilings. If I were single or if I did not have a little one, I would totally move into this place.
