			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Let&#8217;s face it; investing in Austin and Texas Real Estate in general is a no-brainer. </p>
<p>Researching unemployment data since 2004 produces another #1 jewel Austin can add to it&#8217;s crown as Austin leads the nation in job growth since 2004 among the top 50 metropolitan areas in the United States. Houston came in second on the top 50 list. </p>
<p>More jobs means an increase in population. An increase in population creates more demand for housing, retail, medical services, hospitality and recreation. And, that increase in demand transalates into more sales and leasing of real estate.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Seller&#8217;s Market? How many years has it been since that term has been used to describe the real estate market? TOO LONG! But all indications are that Austin and most of Central Texas is heading into a Seller&#8217;s Market. Austin has had 9 straight months of higher year over year sales volume of residential properties. Combine a dwindling inventory of homes and a healthy job growth and home prices will continue to rise.   </p>
<p>&#8220;This year should prove to be the best year for housing in the past five for many areas across the country, especially those in Texas, and particularly in Austin,&#8221; said Ed Friedman, a director in the Moody&#8217;s Analytics office in West Chester, Penn. </p>
<p>Expansion plans by Apple Inc. and Samsung Electronics Co. &#8220;will keep the flow of companies and potential workers coming into Austin, supporting housing demand,&#8221; said Friedman, who follows the Texas economy and Austin-area housing market. Texas Workforce Commission reports that the Central Texas region added 26,800 jobs from January 2011 to January 2012, an increase of 3.5 percent. </p>
<p>The Austin Board of Realtors data shows barely a 4 month supply of homes on the market and the inventory has been dwindling for the past few months. According to the Real Estate Center at Texas A &#038; M University a balanced market is 6.5 months of inventory. Austin Board of Realtors is reporting a 4.2 month of inventory. This is a trend to a Seller&#8217;s Market. Buyers should expect to compete with other buyers for properties as well as watch home prices rise. </p>
<p>Prices usually rise when the inventory dips below about six months, said D&#8217;Ann Petersen, a business economist with the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas who tracks the local housing market. </p>
<p>February&#8217;s &#8220;modest increase&#8221; in median price — up 3 percent to $195,000 from the prior February — &#8220;could indicate more competition among buyers for a shrinking inventory of homes,&#8221; says Austin Board of Realtors Chairman Leonard Guerrero. </p>
<p>History is repeating itself in that Austin is leading Texas out of the recession and Texas is leading the country. Investing in Texas real estate is as low a risk as investors may find in the country. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Banks have been posting exceptionally high profits. Americans are becoming more thrifty and building their savings accounts. Yet, instead of banks rewarding depositors with higher rates of return on savings they are lowering them! And Americans keep stashing cash into their banks; over $10 Trillion is on deposit! That’s excellent news! </p>
<p>Or is it? </p>
<p>It’s wonderful to see Americans saving more and slowly breaking their collective financial enslavement to Madison Fifth Avenue. But instead of being rewarded by the big banks Americans are now treated as if the banks are entitled to their deposits. Have you actually calculated your rate of return on your savings account? CD? Money Market Account? I pick up more change on the streets while walking my dog than most Americans earn in their accounts each month. And that’s pathetic! </p>
<p>You can continue to be treated as if your bank is entitled to your money and continue to be enslaved by the mantra that the banks deserve your money OR you can start exploring options for investing and saving. And of course – I have an option for you to explore: Pride of Austin High Yield Fund 1 (A Regulation D Security filed with SEC)! </p>
<p>Here is it by the numbers:<br />
18.5% Annualized Return paid out for the 4th Quarter of 2011<br />
17.6% Yield paid out for 2011<br />
15.93% Historical Yield since inception (December 2008) </p>
<p>Compare that with your bank statements! </p>
<p>Is your retirement account flat? Change it to a self-directed retirement account and take charge of your future. </p>
<p>Interested in learning more? Contact us and we’ll help you break free of the feeling that banks are entitled to your money and that you do not deserve to be rewarded for your hard work and commitment to saving more. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Pride of Austin funded a construction loan for a 12,000 SF Medical Office Building to be built in Fulshear, Texas. This is the second phase of a Medical Office Park.

We are pleased to be involved with bringing a Class A Medical Office Park to the residents of Fulshear. </p>
<p>The Medical Office Park is being developed by a Texas Company, Australtex. The owners of the property are two Texas companies owned by a group of people in Australia.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Recently Robert Buchanan and David Owen completed a series of courses and earned the Certified Private Lender Associate (CPLA) designation. The American Association of Private Lender (AAPL) is the national organization representing the private real estate lending industry. It is committed to servicing as a catalyst for growth by fostering awareness, promoting best practices, and enforcing a code of ethics.  It&#8217;s principles &#8211; excellence, ethics, and education &#8211; are the cornerstone for success in the industry.  AAPL members are leaders in the industry and embody the character, dedication, and experience critical for success. </p>
<p>AAPL has developed the CPLA Certification Program which is designed to provide a comprehensive overview of the principles and the federal laws and regulations surrounding private real estate lending. CPLA Certification is the first step toward achieving a professional designation with AAPL, and is a pre-requisite for achieving CCPL (Certified Commercial Private Lender), CRPL (Certified Residential Private Lender), and CPLFM (Certified Private Lender Fund Manager) professional designations. Pride of Austin is proud of our fund managers for achieving this designation as there were less than 20 lenders in the nation participating in this course. </p>
<p>AAPL is working on an accreditation program that would be an exhaustive audit of the accounting, policies and procedures of a fund and how it is managed. Once it is launched Rob and David will work toward achieving and maintaining that accreditation. All of us are committed to making Pride of Austin High Yield Fund one of the premier funds in America. </p>
