How long of a commute does everyone have? Mine is 45 minutes to an hour each way depending on traffic...And I don't want to come off as over-dramatic, but this long of a daily commute is starting to ruin my life a little bit.

Well, that would just incentivize to live further away from the office and have a longer commute

If I leave before 7:30 and before 3:30 about 20 mins. If I come home at 4:30 it's usually about an hour

Yes, having the flexibilty to miss high traffic times is wonderful. 15 min wo traffic 45 to hour with. Don't forget to add parking and actually to your desk.

Listen to books, pod casts. Something to make it productive. But 1.5 hours a day out of your life is a lot if you can't reframe it as not a complete waste or something short term.

I found an Austin young professionals group, but it’s almost entirely realtors and loan people. Which is fine, but I’m looking for more typical networking professionals groups.

My partner and I bought our home back in 2020. We got a good deal, low rate. But we want to move into a more spacious SFH. However, as we all know this market is crazy.

And it looks we need to sell the house simultaneously as look for a new one or our contingency isn’t as attractive. I know it’s based on personal circumstances.

Need some advice on renting here in ATX.

Back in May 2021, I rented a property that had sustained damage during the big snow storm. This wasn't disclosed at lease signing.

I moved out& rented an apt for 2 mos before signing a lease on the house I live in now. This house has a serious big problem& I've found mold here too. Continued below
