 20th Birthday Celebratations Mean Fun, Friends and Staying Healthy  Note:  Sun Rays Magazine in Sun City TX features regular articles about our 20th anniversary year.  This blog is based on a recent article about Del Webb, the original developer of Sun City, TX. Throughout 2016 events we're celebrating 20 thriving years of community growth in central Texas.  From early on residents founded many popular seasonal events, activities and clubs.It all started with one man who listened, watched and had the courage of his conviction.  After WWII  Del Webb switched his construction company from war contracts to building housing developments. By 1960 Webb saw a need for a retirement community where residents remained active, socially engaged, and had the time to pursue interests they'd put asid...

The Home and Garden TV Effect  Like it or not, TV shows can shape expectations and emotions. Having conducted an unscientific survey recently at social gathering, it seems even people who "don't watch HGTV" still recognize favorite shows and hosts. One plus for us, who list, sell, rent and represent buyers, is HGTV's emphasis on always using a real estate agent to advise and shepard transactions to positive conclusion.In a typical format an agent works with a single or couple. Agents and clients are realistic and normal in appearance. Buyers and sellers are all racial, ethnic, family and couple combinations, with budgets ranging from 1K to > 1M.  Agents are always professional as they guide clients to understand trade offs between desires and budgets.  When your client say "we'll just k...

Elections- "They all vote!" in a 55+ Community I know, it's best practice to avoid talking about politics and religion.  I don't share my personal views, however it's useful to understand the 55+ demographic is a high turnout population.  When we're helping clients seeking the best retirement location for their needs it can be challenging during a major election season. Sun City, TX has dozens of chartered clubs and interest groups.  Two political interest groups are active with the forthcoming presidential election November 8.  Both Sun City Democrats and Republican Club of Sun City.   Meetings are accessible by golf cart, on foot or by car at one of the amenity centers, or  in the main ballroom.  Both support local, state and federal candidates on the ballot, and cooperate with Willia...

 Rental properties offer the rare opportunity to generate extra cash in post-work life. Indeed, a well-located unit can produce an extra $200 to $1,000 per month after expenses.Another big plus of income-producing properties is that the IRS lets you depreciate the building portion of your property (minus the land) over 27.5 years, which means much of your cash flow will be tax-deferred. Including real property into your retirment plan along with your other investments is a wise strategy. Contact me at: alan@alaninaustin.com to find out more on investing in real estate for retirement.
