WHY TEXAS AND FOR HEAVEN’S SAKE WHY AMARILLO?

Texas has long been an attractive home state to those with the luxury of choice.  Its lack of a state income tax, diversity, economy and its native population with a profound respect for privacy and property rights are just a few reasons why.  Texas is a non-disclosure state, meaning the purchase price and primary ownership of your property does not necessarily fall into the category of “public” information. 

Amarillo was cited by New York real estate mogul Barbara Corcoran, speaking on October 27, 2008 on NBC’s “Today” show as the second among five markets where real estate investors can still “make money” in this challenging economy and by San Francisco’s Veros Real Estate Solutions as fourth among the top five non-metropolitan markets expected to remain the strongest from September 2008 to September 2009.  Reasons cited included low unemployment, foreclosure rates at one half that of the rest of the nation and familial stability.  Amarillo has two airports, both of which handle private traffic.  Its commercial, international airport boasts a huge runway that can accommodate virtually any type of aircraft, including the space shuttle.  Its central US location makes travel by jet to almost any point in the US just a few short hours away.  The main airport is a short fifteen minute drive from #22 Carnoustie, and there is no such thing as rush hour in Amarillo.

Though its population is just under 200,000, it has the diversity and cultural choices of a much larger city.  Its symphony, ballet and theater are nationally and internationally recognized.  Its doctors and medical facilities are world class.  Its private and public education opportunities are vast and highly rated.  Even so, it maintains its small town comfort, security and convenience.  Why not Amarillo?
