2 Rainey Bar Deaths and 1 upcoming Rainey Bar birth to Report in Downtown Austin, Texas

 6.20.2022 


On my evening bicycle ride, I took these photos and now it's official, the previous Rainey Bars of Javelina & Craft Pride are officially dead. Bulldozed, cleared, donzo, gone, se muere.

 The previous fun, intimate, bungalow style neighborhood bars were once happening, fun and friendly places to imbibe and go for nightlife. The cause of death is most likely the continuing "rich-ification" of Austin Texas. They'll probably build some lame expensive glass hi-rise rental or condo building there. Or even lamer some glass mixed use building or ugly tower.

On the birth spectrum, the "Stay Put" is currently making building progress and appears to be near an opening in perhaps fall of 2022, is my visual guess? Click here for an Austonia Article on the upcoming "Stay Put"

Should you BUY a FLIPPED House? ATX Broker Associate GVM Tips, Insights.

 SHOULD YOU BUY a "FLIPPED" HOUSE?  Have you personally ever considered and wondered if you, yourself should BUY  a "flipped house." In my 15+ years of predominantly residential Central Austin brokerage practice and experience, here are my insights, opinions, suggestions and things to be cognizant of.  #1. Absolutely, for sure get a LICENSED INSPECTION on the flipped house! Not all flippers are the same. Just like in life there is a wide spectrum in regards to quality. Some flippers are flat out awful. They make very lipstick-like improvements, skip the expensive items such as the foundation, and plumbing and try to trick the consumer into paying more for a home, when the consumer shouldn't.  On the Flip Side (this joke was just too obvious) There are also excellent high-quality flippers whom selectively choose which homes they flip, and then they invest carefully and beautifully while genuinely  improving a home!
