a Hard Working Father of 3, fleeing Ukraine Violence needs your Help; per Austin Silent Market Client and friend, Jay Menna

A family of one of my guys in the Ukraine, needs help.

He is a hard working father of 3 small children. He has lost everything in the war. He has had to flee. He has left his parents, and in-laws. Some of whom have since been killed.

He has a visa to start a new life in Canada , but can't afford the flights and the cost of getting life restarted.

We continue to support him. Raised his salary to help out. Know that he can't "Come in to work" on time

Today, at the end of a zoom meeting one of our business partners asked "Can we help?". I said no. Kind of the polite no you give folks as to not be a pest.

I went to lunch after and thought about it.

The hell with "no".

This family needs help.

In 35 years in business I have never reached out by email for a charity for anything even the sale of a girl scout cookie.

So I'm asking.

Please.

This is a massing of the 6th & Lamar (Waterloo Records site) residential project based on the Planning Commission approved zoning. The original plans before a compromise was reached with the local neighborhood association called for a building 31' and two or three floors taller.

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! Some of these hi-quality upper tier flippe...
