What a new trailer park in Cedar Park Texas?  Not so fast!   But Wait, this isn't just any trailer park replacing residential home sites, or homes for sale in Cedar Park.  It's a Trailer Park for Upscale Food Trailers.  Rumor has it coming to Cedar Park Soon. Featured at the proposed venue will be a splash park, playground, bocce ball, volley ball, and movies in the park.  Site planners say the new FoodaPalooza will be located near the intersection of Whitestone Blvd. and Parmer Lane.  Check out www.Foodapalooza.net for more details and info or to show your support for this unique venue.  It seems like it could be a great time and a "tasty" place to enjoy the ideal Cedar Park TX Weather on a year round Basis.

The Cedar Park area has seen a dramatic start to the 2013 Selling Season. With inventories rising again the question is where is pricing headed? Every year the seasonal trend lines have a way of being consistent. (as seen in the sawtooth pattern - inventories rise in summer and fall in winter)  More homes come on in the spring and early summer, but are usually off-set by higher sales activity during the summer months. Listing Counts in Cedar in 2013 are at nearly the lowest value in the last 10 years. With interest rates at all time lows and steady buyer demand the sales activity for the area has been very strong.

Change Begins with Choice
An Article by Jim Rohn

Any day we wish, we can discipline ourselves to change it all. Any day we wish, we can open the book that will open our mind to new knowledge. Any day we wish, we can start a new activity. Any day we wish, we can start the process of life change. We can do it immediately, or next week, or next month, or next year.

We can also do nothing. We can pretend rather than perform. And if the idea of having to change ourselves makes us uncomfortable, we can remain as we are. We can choose rest over labor, entertainment over education, delusion over truth, and doubt over confidence. The choices are ours to make. But while we curse the effect, we continue to nourish the...

Investors and home owners should consider their options carefully in any market, I have never been one to advocate real estate speculation on a short term basis.  The "Buy Low Sell High" strategy is a great idea in theory but usually does not take into account the lack of liquidity in a real estate investment or the substantial acquisition and disposition costs associated with Buying and Selling that have the potential to eat up a large portion of profits. 

Another reason the Buy and Hold Rental investment scenario makes a lot of sense is that even if the property doesn't appreciate rapidly, they almost always will over a longer term.  Payback usually begins to occur quickly and by the time 5-10 years pass, the owner has had the opportunity to take advantage of Tax Savings, Rental Income, Equity Build Up via tenant paid mortgage payments and the opportunity for Leveraged Appreciation.  

For Investors looking to get in t...
