It’s a Marathon, Not a Sprint!
Buying waterfront property on Lake LBJ is a marathon and not a sprint. In my opinion you should invest in what I like to call “Keepers”; properties that you will be happy to own for many years and even pass along from generation to generation. Flip properties are few and far between and this strategy can be very risky when it comes to Lake LBJ Real Estate. Sure there are opportunities that present themselves but in my opinion a buy and hold strategy is much safer. Below are a few things to consider when investing in Lake LBJ Real Estate:
-Buy great waterfront. If you take this advice you will thank me later and more importantly will have something that you will enjoy owning and that others will want to buy from you.
-Look for properties with unique qualities that make an asset unique. Things like beautiful trees, big views, granite-bottom under the lake, flat, etc. are always a plus.
– Don’t buy just to buy. If you cannot afford what you want to buy then wait.
-Work with an experienced broker that specializes in the specific market you are searching in. This should give you access to special deals and opportunities that may not be listed in the open market.
-Set an accurate and realistic budget so you can afford to and be comfortable with holding the property for a long time.
If you are in the market for waterfront property on Lake LBJ give me a call. I know the lake and understand the local market. I have access to off-market deals and opportunities and can assist you in finding your dream lake home that will also be a solid investment.
The “Transition” on Lake LBJ
One of my favorite parts of Lake LBJ is a stretch of water that I like to call “The Transition” which is the portion of the lake in between the main body and the confluence of the Colorado River and the Llano River. Here you will find a very low density of development with large swaths of ranch land lining both sides of the lake. The natural shoreline on both sides almost eats the waves making for much more calm and ideal for water sports. Because of the lack of development you will also find abundant wildlife here which is always nice. I have been told by a reputable source that prior to the formation of the Highland Lakes system there was a natural waterfall on the Colorado River in this area which was a major crossing point for native inhabitants. This is likely the reason why you will find the Nightengale Archealogical Center owned by the LCRA which is where they have found artifacts dating back as early as 10,000 years ago.
When searching for your dream piece of Lake LBJ Real Estate its critical to understand the differences in areas. As your trusted advisor on Lake LBJ I know how to steer you in the right direction. Give me a call when you are ready to discuss buying and owning Lake LBJ Real Estate. I look forward to hearing from you!
Just Listed in Sunrise Beach
If you like a good investment opportunity on Lake LBJ I have one for you! 280 E Lakeshore is a very interesting offering with 2 separately platted lots totalling 100 waterfront feet. There is an existing 2 bedroom cabin with a lower level basement and additional bath, that is in great, livable condition and a newly built, steel constructed boat dock with two boat slips ready for your toys. This southwest facing lot is tree-studded with gorgeous oaks of various varieties and lots of grass to spread out and play. My favorite feature of this one-of-a-kind property is the crushed granite bottom lake bottom just below the water without any muck or slime; ideal for family and friends to play in the lake. It is very hard to subdivide property on Lake LBJ so having two lots is extremely valuable. Build across both or use just one and sell one off, lots of options here! This incredible piece of waterfront property on Lake LBJ is listed at $1,950,000. Qualified buyers reach out to learn more!
Two Boat Slips are Better than One
When buying a property on Lake LBJ it is very important to consider the waterfront improvements, specifically the boat dock, which often times gets overlooked. A new dock can cost anywhere between 75k to $200k plus but I have had clients spend more than $1 million construct a dock on Lake LBJ. Because boat docks are not cheap, it is very important to consider the existing dock, if one does exist, and what it would need to accommodate modern day boats. Personally I like to see boat docks with two boat slips and here is why:
1) Everyone likes toys and room for additional toys. Having two slips gives you the flexibility to add a boat in the future and often times I see clients convert existing boat slips into waverunner or even kayak / canoe storage.
2) If you plan to rent your property out its always nice to have a place to store your boat while leaving a slip open for your tenants. Properties that have a boat slip for guests will rent at a premium over those that do not and this will also increase occupancy rates.
3) Guest parking – do you have friends with a house on Lake LBJ? Having a spot for your friends and guests to pull up by boat enhances Lake Life tremendously. Tying boats up on the side of the dock can be problematic and damaging to the boat, specifically on busy lake days.
4) Rental income – how about the idea of renting out a free space to a friend? Boat slips are in extremely high demand and even the marinas are full. Having an available boat slip on Lake LBJ could be a valuable cash flow to help offset some of your holding costs.
5) Resale value – When it comes time to sell your waterfront home on Lake LBJ, a second boat slip will help you stand out. For the reasons I posted above buyers like extra space and parking for toys. Just like a bigger home, a bigger dock is more valuable in the open market, especially if it is built right and well maintained.
If you are in the market for waterfront property on Lake LBJ I highly encourage you to engage a local expert that knows the lake, understands the market and that will work hard to help you find the right spot. There are so many ins and outs to lakefront ownership, and you need someone to help you navigate through the process.
