8 Great Restaurants in Austin Offering Delivery or Take-Out During the Shelter-In-Place Order

System - Monday, April 6, 2020

With COVID-19 affecting the nation and Travis and Williamson Counties on Shelter-in-Place orders, Greater Austin residents have had a drastic change in their everyday life. One thing that comes with being cooped in your home is that, eventually, you’ll need more food. Trips to the grocery store don’t have the greatest appeal to them right now and HEB curbside is backed up for a few weeks. To spare our fellow Austin foodies, we threw together a list of 8 great restaurants in Austin offering delivery or curbside takeout during these unprecedented times.

Kerbey Lane Cafe
An Austin staple. You have to try the Banana Walnut Pancakes, Kerbey Queso, and Glazed Brussels….maybe not all in the same meal. Kerbey Lane Cafe is offering delivery and take-out service at this time. 

Franklin's BBQ
Famous in Austin and typically sold out, Franklin’s has closed their dine-in area but are offering Austin residents a curbside takeout option. Craving some brisket or ribs? Franklin’s is the spot. 

Chuy’s
A tex-mex favorite in Austin, Chuy’s is offering ATX residents with the option to order food via delivery or take-out. If you aren’t getting the creamy jalapeno sauce with your chips and salsa you have been missing out. 

4 Tips for Quickly Leasing Your Rental Property

System - Thursday, April 2, 2020

Whether you have a portfolio or just one rental property, it’s important to minimize the time your property spends on the market. As the saying goes, “time is money”, and every day your property spends on the market is money lost on your investment. Every day, 110 people move to Austin which makes it a strong rental market with a large pool of potential tenants. The fact of the matter is that while Austin is great for landlords, it's also great for tenants as there is no shortage of available rental properties.  How do you set your rental property apart from the others? Here are 4 tips that we apply to the rental properties that we manage in Austin:

Curb Appeal

It’s the little things that count and a first impression is always the most important. This is how they will tell their friends and family where they live…”It's the cute blue house with the white trim and wooden shutters.” Also, this will be the first photo that renters and showing agents see on the listing online. Easy ideas include:

  • Trimmed Lawn/Landscaping

  • New Exterior Paint

  • Sleek House numbers

  • Updated Shutters

  • A Front Door that Pops

  • New Mailbox

  • Front Doormat t...

What's Better: Long-Term or Short-Term Rentals in an Economic Downturn?

Grant Williams - Tuesday, March 24, 2020

We are only three months in and 2020 is shaping up to be quite the year. With the current COVID-19 pandemic in full swing the markets have taken a huge downturn in recent months and it’s beginning to affect everything from toilet paper sales, tourism, the real estate market and practically every industry across the globe. 

Which leads us to the question - Which is a better investment in an economic downturn, a short-term rental property or a long-term rental home?

Short-Term Rental Properties in Austin, Texas 

In light of COVID-19, several businesses have had to adapt or close overnight and companies like AirBNB or VRBO are not immune to the impact. In nearly every part of the world, AirBNB markets are drying up overnight. Owners have experienced a sharp cancellation of reservations and properties are beginning to sit for long periods of time with no end in sight. Well-renowned events such as South by Southwest (SXSW) here in Austin, which serve as pillars of the community, have been canceled and AirBNB owners faced the harsh realities of that decision. In January, Austin had 5,188 short-term rentals posted across all short-term rental sites. Now, just two months later, the sh...
