The quality of life is what attracts new-comers to Austin
The quality of life is what attracts new-comers to Austin, TX
A cool map of Austin, TX
Music: No matter how many things you’ve heard about the music scene in Austin, you can’t visualize its full depth and breadth. More than 150 venues offer regular musical sets. At any given time, more than 3,000 musical acts navigate this maze, and public places are a magnet for live music. Almost across the board it’s a consistently high level of musicianship that twice a year peaks in mammoth festivals: South by Southwest (SXSW) in the spring and Austin City Limits Music Festival in the fall. The SXSW Conference & Festival offer the unique convergence of original music, independent films, and emerging technologies. It’s a unique environment and experience and could only happen in Austin. You have a chance to discovery the hottest up and coming bands and artists that are coming out of the music world, you also get to gaze your eyes on some killer independent films that are on display, and take a bath in the latest innovative technologies where the brightest minds in emerging media and industry leaders share visions of the future through the latest digital tools and platforms. The SXSW is dated for March 11-20, 2011. Austin City Limits Music Festival know as ACL is a three day, eight stage event that happens in Austin every fall that will feature over 130 of the hottest and most popular bands and artists from around the world. This year the event will be held on September 16-18th 2011. If you love live music – Austin, TX is for you!
Arts: Second only to music, the arts are ubiquitous in Central Texas. In a select group of cities with professional symphony, opera, ballet, and theater companies, Austin also has benefited as those offerings improved exponentially during the past decades. There’s only one large art museum – the Blanton Museum of Art – but plenty of high-quality galleries and smaller museums. Comedy is red-hot in Austin, with dozens of transient sketch , improv and hybrid comedy troupes winning international fame.
Movies: Austin has been a movie mecca, more or less, for about 20 years. Besides giants like Robert Rodriguez, Mike Judge, Richard Linklater and Elizabeth Avellan, other directors, actors, designers and technicians wander our streets every day. Austin has been nicknamed Hollywood’s third coast and is rumored to be second in movie film and production only to Hollywood. And Austin was also featured #5 out of 10 best cities in the US to live, work, and make movies in 2010. The Alamo Drafthouse phenomenon started here and if you haven’t experienced a movie at the Alamo Drafthouse you must on your next visit. Not only do you get to have the opportunity to view old movie classics but you get to eat, drink and be merry while taking in your favorite cinema. Depend on the good folks with the Austin Film Society, Austin Film Festival, SXSW film festival and other hyperactive groups to keep this city cranking out the films. The most recent box office hits: Machete and Predators were both filmed in surrounding Austin area, Bastrop, and film/edited at Robert Rodriguez studio named Troublemaker Studios located in the Mueller master plan community of Austin which is located right off I-35 five minutes from downtown Austin.
Alamo Draft House
Nightlife: As money poured into Austin during the past two or three booms, club scenesters multiplied the “going out” options. Ultra-lounges were all the rage a couple of years ago. Now the night tribes follow celebrity party planners, social media mavens, and mixologists sparking the next cocktail revolution. Newer entertainment districts include West Sixth Street, East E. Sixth Street and Rainey Street. If your looking for a point in the right direction I would be glad to share with you some of my favorite nightlife spots from pure clubs, to outside roof top bars, to lounges, to old gutted houses turned into a chill scene to meet friends for drinks after a long day of work.
West 6th Street - visit Dogwood & Molotov I know the owners!
Sports: In Austin, sports count as entertainment. Especially the University of Texas Longhorns on any field of action. They’ve been joined recently by superior minor-league teams, such as the Round Rock Express, Austin Toros, Texas Stars and the amazing freshman Austin Aztex. The University of Texas has an impressive winning record when it comes to Football, Basketball, & Baseball. The teams each respectively are always in the top 5 or 10 in the nation year in and year out. Which is very impressive considering it’s tough to keep that level of consistency going in a college program. Add to that fast-expanding local sports bar phenoms, such as Third Base, Bikinis, Cover 3, and Cuatros.
Sytle: Not long ago, the only fashion show in town was staged annually by the UT design program. Now it seems models walk the runway every night of the week. The presence of powerful national stores (Neiman Marcus, Saks, etc.) helps, but more influential are the masses of designers and boutiques that make up the backbone of the Austin fashion scene. If you are in Austin on a first Thursday – take in the sights and sounds of south Congress as all the local boutiques open up for extended hours to show off their latest fashion forward designs, sales, along with offering up cool music by some of the hottest Austin DJ’s, and delicious food and drinks.
Food: When asked what they do for entertainment, Austintes often say: “Eat out.” As you will soon discover, dining in Austin often comes with a dash of design, music, comedy, or film. Austin is home to the most restaurants and bars per capita than any other American city! So take it all in!

Home Ownership Offers Plenty of Tax Benefits
While renting offers zero tax breaks, buying a home offers several tax benefits that can make homeownership more affordable. Real estate professionals need to be careful in providing detailed tax advice to clients to avoid lawsuits, but you can ensure clients have the information they need to understand the all of the tax benefits of home ownership.
The following is a few of the tax benefits to home ownership, according to Stephen Fishman, an author and lawyer who specializes in small business, tax and intellectual property law.
▪ Home mortgage interest deduction : Home owners can take an itemized deduction on interest paid on a mortgage or mortgages of up to $1 million for a principal residence and/or second home. This deduction could potentially reduce the cost of borrowing by one-third or more.
▪ Property tax deduction: Home owners can deduct from their federal income taxes the state and local property taxes that you pay on the home.
▪ Deductible home buying expenses: Several closing costs in a home purchase are also deductible, such as loan origination fees (points), prorated interest on a new loan, and prorated property taxes paid at settlement.
▪ $250,000/$500,000 home-sale exclusion: Home owners who have lived in their home for two of the prior five years prior to its sale do not have to pay income tax on the majority of their profit — $250,000 for single home owners and $500,000 for married homeowners who file jointly.
▪ 14 days of free rental income: Home owners can rent the home up to 14 days during the year and pay no tax at all on the rental income.

Creating Opportunity – it’s all around you but you gotta Ride the WaVe..
I wanted to speak to you about some topics that I’m super PASSIONATE about….. Opportunity, Change, Personal Growth, Investing, Real Estate and how they all can come together to manifest something truly special!
I always start my day off by reading personal growth and this morning I read ‘Creating Opportunity’ by Jim Rohn and I have posted it below. But once I read that then it got me fired up to talk about The Elevation Group, Investing, Current Wealth Cycles in the Market, and Real Estate. How they can come together to create the perfect storm of prosperity. You see to create opportunity you must first be someone who’s open to receiving it which would be an enterprising person because they are like surfers … they are in the water waiting, ready for the next Big Wave to carry them on the ride of there life. You see you must catch the wave and then ride the wave. And that’s where education comes into play and having the mentors and team in place. In order to manifest prosperity and financial freedom you must have a clear game plan in place and know exactly how to execute. Most people have no plan, no method of operation, no team, and so they have no real means to manifest wealth. They stay stuck in the investment strategies of the masses like 401k, and company stock options. Yes that can be good if your CEO of Google, Apple or something unique like that … but most of us are never that lucky. As you continue to read Jim Rohn is going to educate you on how to seize an opportunity, my precious metals advisor Mike Maloney is going to open your eyes to the bull run of precious metals – especially silver and how to profit from it, and I’m going to educate you on the freedom and leverage that real estate investing can provide you and how it lay a solid foundation to financial prosperity and freedom. Remember wealth is always best created within the confines of a TEAM! Wealth is a team sport.
It’s time to become an enterprising person …. let the games begin:
“An enterprising person is one who comes across a pile of scrap metal and sees the making of a wonderful sculpture. An enterprising person is one who drives through an old decrepit part of town and sees a new housing development. An enterprising person is one who sees opportunity in all areas of life.
To be enterprising is to keep your eyes open and your mind active. It’s to be skilled enough, confident enough, creative enough and disciplined enough to seize opportunities that present themselves… regardless of the economy.
A person with an enterprising attitude says, “Find out what you can before action is taken.” Do your homework. Do the research. Be prepared. Be resourceful. Do all you can in preparation of what’s to come.
Enterprising people always see the future in the present. Enterprising people always find a way to take advantage of a situation, not be burdened by it. And enterprising people aren’t lazy. They don’t wait for opportunities to come to them; they go after the opportunities. Enterprise means always finding a way to keep yourself actively working toward your ambition.
Enterprise is two things. The first is creativity. You need creativity to see what’s out there and to shape it to your advantage. You need creativity to look at the world a little differently. You need creativity to take a different approach, to be different.
What goes hand in hand with the creativity of enterprise is the second requirement: the courage to be creative. You need courage to see things differently, courage to go against the crowd, courage to take a different approach, courage to stand alone if you have to, courage to choose activity over inactivity.
And lastly, being enterprising doesn’t just relate to the ability to make money. Being enterprising also means feeling good enough about yourself, having enough self-worth to want to seek advantages and opportunities that will make a difference in your future. And by doing so, you will increase your confidence, your courage, your creativity and your self-worth—your enterprising nature. ”
By: Jim Rohn
http://www.jimrohn.com
Jim Rohn says it so well and that’s why I love studying his work. The man is full of practical wisdom that you can apply to your life right away. Creating OPPORTUNITY is all around us … but you must be conscious and aware of the opportunities that are available. If you are someone like me always looking at ways of creating new opportunity and new wealth than you can’t ignore the great real estate investing opportunities that are abounding in Austin, TX as well as in the Wealth Cycles in the current market place. If you have been thinking of investing in a rental property or looking to buy a duplex or apartment complex feel free to give me a ring and I would be glad to help find you a great real estate project where you can park and grow your wealth. I can guarantee you this – Change is coming to our Economy and those who are in position to profit from those changes in the markets will be set up to make windfall profits.
Did you know? More millionaires were created out of the Great Depression here in the United States than any other time in history …. and why is that? Why, well it has to do with change …. change creates opportunity. Right now the biggest wealth transfer in the world is taking place and you have an opportunity to stand in the way of the changing markets and profit from these amazing times.
But taking advantage of change requires knowledge, education, leadership, and mentors guiding you every step of the way. I’m apart of an exclusive club called “The Elevation Group” founded by Mike Dillard where experts, teachers, and investors take YOU inside the secret “Black-Box” investment strategies of the rich! Mike shared with me his vision of the Elevation Group back in February of this year and I was able to have a hand in it’s creation which was truly a unique honor to be involved in a project with someone who’s had so much success online with his product launches. The Elevation Group isn’t just a membership to country club like benefits and networking… this is a community where you can really learn and grow from an investing and wealth creation stand point. It’s all about education and I promise you the stuff you will learn inside this ‘black-box’ at the Elevation Group is NOT taught in school or the university. At the university you are taught to follow directions, draw within the lines, and be a good safe employee. The reason why is it’s designed for you to be apart of the wheel that drives the profit engine. You see the wealthy own the engine and being an employee you are helping to push that engine and vehicle down the road. If you want to stop being a tool for the wealthy than you must move from the left side of the cash flow quadrant and move to the right side where you either become a business owner and or investor. This is where the real wealth is made. It’s very difficult building wealth as an employee and being taxed first on everything you make. As a business owner or investor you invest in your business or real estate property first, then you deduct expenses, and then after all your expenses the government gets to tax you on what’s left. If you are currently an employee and not sure how to start your own business at least look to either a home-based business or internet marketing. These two avenues have low over-head and rather small investment to get started. Or look at making your first real estate investment purchase… I can help you find and locate a property that could possibly cash-flow for you depending on the location, condition, and market rent. At worst case you would be holding on to a long-term investment that will appreciate over the long-term even through many wealth cycles. Regardless … do something don’t leave your future up to someone else as they will not have much for you. Take personal responsibility for your financial prosperity and future. If you are eager to become educated, empowered, and equipped to have your money really work for you than I highly encourage you to look Inside “The Elevation Group” as you will learn about: Asset Protection, Diary Entries from multi-millionaires who have made it happen, Gold & Silver (precious metals), Infinite banking, life insurance, money mindset, retirement, taxes, wealthy cycles, real estate investing, and much more.
Two things I know right now where you can really grow and protect wealth …. Real Estate & Precious Metals. But … you must know when to get into the game and when to exit the game! You must buy low and sell high. Some experts are predicting Silver will run up to over 30 an ounce in the next 18 days. Right now silver is trading at 24.75 an ounce. Also rumors have it Silver will be trading over 50 an ounce in the coming months. I was lucky I first made my first silver investment at 18 an ounce, I wish I would have bought in at $10 or $14 an ounce like my mentor Mike Dillard, or Robert Kiyosaki at $3 and $5 dollars an ounce, but I can’t change the past, but what I did do … was take ACTION when I was given new knowledge…. and that’s when I made my first silver investment at 18 dollars an ounce.
Now the reason why I bring up precious metals like gold and silver is because they are just the means to how I will get where I desire to go. I firmly believe in passive income entities, like real estate, are the ultimate investment. My end goal is to accumulate as much real estate as possible like in the game Monopoly, not gold and silver. Gold and silver has no tax advantages and they do not cash-flow. However, I firmly believe, because of the wealth-cycle that we are in, I can accumulate far more real estate by buying gold and silver now, than if I buy real estate now. Make since? To illustrate this concept, let me take you on a history lesson where we will look at the relationship between the housing and silver markets during the last big precious metals bull market.
Taking from the pages of: “Guide to Investing in Gold & Silver” Protect your financial future by Michael Maloney – Rich Dad Advisor.
The House that Silver Built
The S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Index (S&P/CSI) says that in 1971, when the last great precious metals bull began, a median-price, single family home in the United States was $20,663. The same year silver’s average price was $1.39 per ounce. Thus, it required 14,823 ounces of silver to buy a median-price single-family home in the U.S.
At the end of the precious metals bull run in January 1980, just nine years later, that same home cost $42,747, and silver was just over $52.50 per ounce, so it required roughly 814 ounces of silver to buy that same home. The house had increased in price 2 times, or 100 percent. However, the currency supply had grown 2.45 times, or 145 percent. Inflation raged all through the 1970’s, and the result was that tough real estate increased significantly in price, it’s true value barely kept up with inflation and may have actually fallen a little. Conversely, silver had increased 3,641 percent, outpacing inflation by more than fifteen times.
Now, here’s a really cool scenario. If you had sold a house in 1971 for $20,663 and purchased silver, by January 1980 your investment would have outpaced real estate by a factor of 17, growing to $770,796. If you then sold your silver, you could buy eighteen median-price, single-family homes, all CASH, at the 1980 price of $42,747 per house and benefit from 100 percent of the cash flows from those properties, or, if you were feeling really adventurous, you could put 20 percent down and buy ninety homes for the same price.
Today, we find ourselves in a similar situation, only better. Real estate has become much overvalued and silver has become extremely undervalued. (speaking in general terms of the entire US market, the local Austin, TX real estate market is strong compared to the rest of the US since we never saw the extreme spike in home values during the late 90’s and early 2000’s like the rest of the country. Austin, TX had stead growth and appreciation) Measured against silver, the median price, single-family home in the U.S. hit it’s peak in 2002, at a price of 38,123 ounces of silver, some two and half times higher than at the beginning of the last precious metals bull market in 1971.
When silver hit its peak of $52.50 in 1980, it was not rare. Today, as we’ve already discussed in detail, identifiable above ground silver stockpiles have been drawn down to a tiny fraction of their size in 1980.
When the gold and silver bull market explodes, the financial news will react just as it did in 1980, and the only thing you will hear about is gold and silver. At that time there will be market analysts all over the Internet, radio, and TV, proclaiming to everyone the greatest investment of all time- gold and silver! The rarity of silver will go from something that a small fraction of the world’s population knows about to something everyone is now an expert on.
After studying things like the tulip mania of 1637, the Nasdaq bubble of the 1990’s, he history and the current fundamentals of gold and silver, and the history of financial cycles, it would not surprise me in the least to see less than 500 ounces of silver buy a median-price, single-family home sometime in the future.
As of this writing, 500 ounces of silver is selling for around $9,000 (I would venture to bet that as you’re reading this, it is selling for even more), and a median price, single family-home is selling for $200,000 (and I’ll wager the home is selling for less as you read this). Wouldn’t you love to buy a home outright, for just $9,000? Or put 20 percent down and buy five homes? Well, I believe that if you buy silver now, and wait until silver is once again over-valued and real estate is once again undervalued, you will be able to do so. Remember, in 1980 it only took 814 ounces of silver to purchase one home, and silver wasn’t rare then.
If indeed the day comes that you can buy a median-priced, single-family home in the U.S. for just 500 ounces of silver, then that means that if you owned a home outright, sold it now, and bought silver, then, when silver peaks against real estate, bought similar homes in the same neighborhood (barring tax losses), you could buy twenty-three of them outright, or 115 of them at 20 percent down. I know these figures sound silly, but believe it or not, they are not improbable. It’s just a repeat of the 1970’s bull with a little twist.
What these numbers show is that by going with the flow (right now the flow is in the direction of precious metals), and always betting in the direction of true value, your winnings are not only quite large, or even huge, but they are nearly unbelievable.
Given our housing example, even if you ended up losing 50 percent of your earnings to taxes and other costs, you could still end up owning about twelve homes outright or sixty-four at 20 percent down, all for the price of one home in today’s dollars.
The biggest mean reversion in history is knocking on our door. I can’t stress this enough. The good news is that everything always reverts to the mean, and the bad news is that everything always reverts to the mean. Whether the news is good or bad will depend on if you are invested in the correct asset class for the cycle you are currently in. Investors who are aware of this will have wealth knocking on their doors, whereas investors who are caught unaware may end up with collection agents knocking on theirs.
US HOUSE PRICE / SILVER RATIO
Measured in silver, real estate peaked in 2002, at a price of $38,123 ounces of silver for a median-price, single-family home (chart 31). Real estate has never, ever, been this overvalued. And silver has never, ever, ever, been this undervalued.
The point of all this is that real estate so overvalued, and silver so undervalued, chances are that they will both overshoot to the opposite extreme, before reverting to the mean. What that means for you is that you NOW have a very rare chance to become very wealthy very quickly by simply taking advantage of economic cycles and the wealth transfer they create.” - Michael Maloney
I share this wisdom and knowledge with you freely because I believe in the Law of Abundance & Prosperity. I want to see you prosper just as your soul prospers and be in good health. It’s tough to live a life of freedom: spiritual, mental, social, relational, physical, economic, without having financial prosperity and freedom. And that my friends is my wish to you – FREEDOM!! I give freely because my cup runneth over … and that my friend is the law of abundance.
I hope you were able to learn some things today .. like how to create practical Opportunities from Jim Rohn and how to profit from Wealth Cycles by Michael Maloney. Right now I firmly believe silver is a great place to park your money and to invest in. I still believe Silver to be undervalued. I first bought in at 18 dollars an ounce now it’s over 24.75 and climbing to 30 fast! But don’t take my word for it… do your own research and due diligence. The chance in the coming years to buy a median-price single family room at 250 ounces of silver, 500, 1,000, is very real… either way the OPPORTUNITY is HUGE!!!
Hopefully you can time the tides right in the market place and ride the WaVe of prosperity with the bull run of Silver. And when the time is right to EXIT the precious metals bull run and sell your silver … hopefully you will think of me and how I opened your eyes to silver…. and when you are ready to park those precious metals and investment PROFITS that you will do so with me and in Real Estate. Real Estate is where more millionaires are made, 9 out of every 10 millionaires in the U.S come through real estate. So when you make your profits in the precious metals game from my advice and direction and sell out at the top of it’s wealth cycle think of Me your REAL ESTATE ADVISOR: Matthew C. Layman Austin’s Rockin’ Real Estate Professional. I’ll be here for you to serve you anyway I can…. regardless of if it’s a small or big investment. I’ll be here to help!
OPPORTUNITY is all around us … but we must Open our EYES to what is possible, and then believe it is so, … and then most importantly take ACTION with that strategy. Faith + Action = Success. I’m so grateful for all the many mentors that have touched my life: My Father Mike Layman a successful Lawyer, Business man, Husband, & Father, my two older brothers: Travis & Chad Layman .. Chad won the Entrepreneur of the Year award with the US Chamber of Commerce beating out every small business in America and Travis a successful Estimator at a Construction Firm, Glyn Milburn NFL player & now successful business man, Jeff Usner Internet Marketing Guru, Rick Hinnant businessman, Sean McGrath Political Advisor & author, Robert Kiyosaki Author and mentor, Mike Dillard Internet Marketing Guru and personal mentor, and a few others. In life … it’s not always what you know but who you know and then even what’s more important are the 6-12 people you are most associated with. Those closest friends will lift you up or destroy you. That’s why I’m very particular with who I let in my life and in how they influence me.
I’ve staked my fortune on the Silver wave ….. hopefully you will see opportunity as well before it’s to late. I’m not giving you invest advice but I am telling you what I’m doing and beating on.
