Opportunity to Invest in Sunrise Beach
As you know I have been successfully selling and also personally investing in Lake LBJ Real Estate for some time now. I have sold some properties on the lake as much as 3 different times now. I know how these places live, I know what makes money, and I know what sells time and time again. Too many times I see buyers making BAD moves by allowing their emotions to overtake the process, focusing on a shiny house, or a certain price point rather than fully considering and understanding what truly makes Lake LBJ Real Estate valuable as an investment and that is the land and water.
Our listing at 280 E. Lakeshore in Sunrise Beach is an opportunity that many people will pass over but the ones that jumps will be glad they did and here is why: This package is comprised of TWO separately platted waterfront lots. One lot has a nearly new boat dock that cost approx. $150k and the second has a 2 bedroom, 2 bath house that is very livable. Individually (and without any improvements) the lots alone are arguably worth more than what we are asking for the package. The current home is very functional and the dock is amazing and would be an asset to any lakefront home.
When you buy waterfront property do you really want to have most of your investment go towards the improvements or would you rather be investing in GREAT land that can always be built on and improved in the future? Here is the truth, without the lake frontage you likely wouldn’t be investing here so shouldn’t the bulk of the investment be centered around the water?
This Lake LBJ property is great as-is and would make for a phenomenal second home getaway. The lots could be built on individually so one could build a house on one for themselves and sell off the other OR keep the two lots together and build one house for a priceless waterfront tract. When I invest I like to consider the exit strategy and I like outs. This property has various outs and most importantly it is AS GOOD AS IT GETS in terms of waterfront property.

Boat Docks Matter on the Lake
Before you splurge on a Lake House on Lake LBJ make sure it’ has a good, quality dock. Old wood boat docks are a liability not an asset. Today’s docks are built using steel and concrete or composite decking with slips sized for today’s boats and clearance that allows the owner to raise the boat with having to lower a tower or bimini. Many boat docks on Lake LBJ offer outdoor living space that compliments the home. A new dock can cost well over 100k so you better pay attention to what you are buying to avoid unexpected expenses.

Is Open Water the Obvious Choice?
Open water may seem like the obvious choice and I completely understand why but as with everything, no property or waterfront type is perfect. Understanding the cons of open water will, at minimum, help you make an informed purchase decision on Lake LBJ. Here are a few things you may want to know before you buy:
Open water on Lake LBJ can be very rough. This makes parking a boat or pulling out of your dock a challenge and sometimes even dangerous
Would floating on a float or raft in front of your property be of interest to you? On a busy weekend this would be nearly impossible if not completely out of the question if you are on open water. The boat wakes and waves would really throw you around
Open water comes with a lot of noise put out by boats and jet skis. Because its open water this means that watercraft will pass by at high rates of speed and when they are doing so their engines are revved putting out quite a bit of sound. Try having a quiet conversation over the noise or taking a peaceful nap in the hammock.
Is fishing important to you? If so you need to make sure you understand that fishing off the dock on the open water can be a bit of a challenge and likely an unsuccessful endeavor on most busy days. The water is just too rough and the boat traffic is to great to successfully cast a line out into the lake.
Lastly, many people have friends with houses on the lake and the idea of them pulling up by boat and parking out front seems like a fairy tale. The truth is on open water this is nearly impossible unless you have a second slip available, that is sized properly for their boat. Most properties don’t have this capability.
I like open water and do not believe its all bad but understand the ins and outs will ensure that you are well informed before making your decision. An experienced broker, with experience on the water, living and selling waterfronts can help you sift through the junk to find the gold on Lake LBJ.

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.
