Separate Property in Texas | Law Office of Chris Schmiedeke, PC

In this video, I've given you a quick overview of the definition of separate property. In essence, it's a property you acquired before getting married, received by inheritance, or were gifted. Unless you mix it up with community property, it will always remain your separate property.

The Best Times to Buy a Mobile Home: A Seasonal Guide

Purchasing a mobile home is an exciting endeavor that comes with its own set of considerations, including timing. Just like many other purchases, buying a mobile home has seasonal implications that can affect your experience and the potential price you pay. In this article, we'll explore the best times to buy a mobile home austin, considering factors such as competition, price breaks, and market trends.

Seasonal Consequences of Homebuying

Seasonality plays a significant role in the real estate market, and buying a mobile home is no exception. Understanding the ebb and flow of the market can help you make a more informed decision. When should you set your sights on your dream mobile home? Let's delve into the best times to consider.

Lower Competition and Potential Price Breaks

While the warmer months might seem like the natural choice for home shopping, there are certain times that offer reduced competition and potential cost savings. One such period is midsummer, where many prospective buyers are focused on vacations and summer relaxation. This lull in home shopping can translate to fewer competing buyers and an increased likelihood of scoring a good deal on your new mobile home.

Holiday Season Opportunities

The holiday season, often associated with joyous celebrations and family gatherings, also presents an opportunity for savvy mobile home buyers. The week of Thanksgiving and the entire month of December are periods when many people are preoccupied with festivities and may not prioritize home shopping. This dip in demand can lead to decreased competition and the potential for sellers to offer more attractive prices. However, keep in mind the logistical challenges of coordinating a home purchase during the holiday season.

Village Homes Austin: A Gauge for Buying Habits

Village Home Austin, a premier website for buying, selling, or renting mobile and manufactured homes, serves as a valuable resource for tracking buying habits. The patterns observed on the platform offer insights into the best times to buy a mobile home. Interestingly, Village Homes Austin data suggests that December, despite its conventional status as a "cold" time for buying, can be a hot time for deals. The lower sales volume during this period means buyers are less likely to engage in bidding wars, creating an advantageous situation for potential buyers.

Timing Factors to Consider

When contemplating the best time to buy a mobile home, various factors come into play. Are you paying with cash, or do you need financing? Will the home require relocation, repairs, or upgrades? These considerations can influence the timing of your purchase.

Educating Yourself on the Moving Process

For those considering moving their manufactured home, understanding the logistics of the process is essential. Take time to research the steps involved, and identify professionals who can assist with the move. Starting this process several months before your intended purchase can ensure a smoother transition.

Financing Plans: Starting Early for Success

Financing your mobile home is another critical aspect that warrants careful planning. Whether you're seeking pre-approval or exploring loan options, initiating these steps three to four months ahead of your intended purchase date can save you time and stress. This advanced preparation empowers you to make informed financial decisions and secure the best financing terms.

Conclusion

Timing is indeed a crucial consideration when purchasing a 3 bedroom mobile home or 4 bedroom mobile home. By understanding the seasonal trends, you can strategically position yourself to avoid fierce competition and potentially secure a better deal on your new home. Whether you're exploring the midsummer lull, the holiday season opportunities, or the insights from Village Homes Austin data, making an informed decision about when to buy can ultimately lead to a more favorable and cost-effective purchase. Remember to consider all relevant factors, from relocation logistics to financing plans, to ensure a seamless and successful mobile home buying experience.

Also I’m realizing that I need to step carefully about outdoorsy topics (and that REI is slightly triggering)

So imagine: friend goes “we should hike clear lake next weekend!!” and I’m googling and just awed by the pics I’m seeing, and it’s a five mile walk, basically, with well maintained trails and virtually no elevation gain, and she’s also like “AND hopefully Other Friend can come too, because she’s so fun to hike with” and I’m like oh hell yeah that would be GREAT

And so given that I think well, next weekend is actually the last weekend I’ll spend with scone on zoom, which will actually free up a lot of exploring-nature time, and I’ve kinda wanted to get back into hiking (just chill ones, though. I’m not talking about camping. Still don’t want to go camping when I have a perfectly good house at home.), and everyone always prattles on about Oregon’s natural beauty, blah blah blah, and actually scone also likes going on hikes but is even less experienced than I am (because he didn’t have a dad who would rather just turn into a moose and live in Yellowstone, or a mom who took her toddler on long hikes, and camping, and whatever, until I decided that I’d had enough of having to either pee all over my shoes or use those massive scary permanent port-a-potties)…

…so I was like you know what. This could be a fun new hobby to do. You pack water. You pack snacks. You pack a first aid kit and a compass and some sunscreen and a hat and you’re good to go!

It would be nice if I had something smaller than my normal backpack and more useful for hikes than my cross-body purse though. So idk REI always has sales, I should see what’s going on. Oh they have a nice SMALL daypack for much less than I was expecting, this is perfect, I’m going to get it.

And then because I wanted it in my hot little hands right that second, I went down to the local REI and also looked around, because sometimes it’s fun to do that

No, it turns out that I have absorbed as part of the experience of my mom dying that she started dying WHILE GODDAMN CAMPING and camping was a huge part of her life and then became a huge part of her life again with her new partner; she had a ton of outdoors equipment and loved REI; she would do multi-day bike races for charity across mountains; she would report to me that the basically camping MREs weren’t so bad, actually!; etc etc etc

Now also, there’s q, who I dated for YEARS and ended up being emotionally and sexually abusive and whose name I curse every time I feel broken about sex (which is a lot). HE was also very outdoorsy, worked in americorps during hurricane sandy, loved jeeping, camping, hiking, you name it; he eventually took a job working for saguaro national park where he’d leave the house at 3:30 AM and spray for buffelgrass and other invasive plants; he’s now doing some other kind of naturalist work outside of Austin and is married to a Texas state congressperson (who he met in Tucson and cheated on me with and HAPPILY and freely admitted that at the time, so of course I was the coldhearted bitch who kept him from being happy when I told him no, I did not appreciate that and I did not want to have an open relationship so he could continue dating her) (no I’m not still traumatized YOURE still traumatized)

UH

BUT ANYWAY

HIS favorite store was ALSO REI and would regularly come back with buffs and sun shirts and whatever fun new gadgets he could find; he was SO GODDAMN ANNOYING to walk around the store with because ugh Shiloh you don’t even like being outside why would you need any of this, are you actually going to USE it (derogatory, not helpful)

…so…

So maybe this is what’s making my brain Funky and Off. I mean it’s been happening longer than just like Thursday afternoon, when my friend called and was like “let’s go hiking!”, but still. This doesn’t help. I keep poking at it like a bruise. This is part of the reason I think that emotionally immature parents video got to me, because I already had mom on the mind.

It’s just fucked all the way around.

But at least now I have tentative plans to go hiking next weekend AND I have a very cute purple backpack to hold my water and snacks. So. You know.

A Little Catch Up on My Life and Travels

My last post was about selling our beloved place in Mexico. I haven't posted since then, but I've been busy, both with closing down the business, and then taking to the road.

I'm writing this from a hotel room in San Antonio, Texas. We have just finished a 5 day vacation with family, and my husband and his brother attended 3 days of the Formula One in Austin. They are very close to each other, and I think they enjoyed everything about their 3 days together. My sister in law and I are also close, and we enjoyed hanging out: there was a day of walking and checking out the River Walk, and a couple of days of relaxing and reading, (things we both enjoy).

Today we parted ways, with my BIL and SIL returning home and Craig and I staying one more night then flying onward to Mexico to meet up with my dad and a friend. We are headed to the town where we have spent 16 happy years, but this time we're not staying at our own place. Instead we are staying with our former property manager who also has rental apartments. While we will be doing many fun things with our local friends, we will NO be painting or fixing things, (a staple of our previous trips). It will be a different trip for sure.

However, I started my travels the last week of August, when my sister invited me to accompany her and my niece back to Ontario, (where my niece attends university). While I've passed through Toronto, both just within the airport, and by vehicle, I've never actually spent any time there, so I jumped at the opportunity. It was a fun and busy 5 days, sightseeing, catching a Blue Jays baseball game, and touring the infamous Kingston penitentiary, as well as getting my niece settled into her new house.

In between the two above trips, we took our travel trailer down the Washington and Oregon coasts, before cutting into more central California to Yosemite National parks. We stayed at both National Parks and State Parks, and boy to do I have a lot to say about those...however, that will be in another post. We had two nights in the San Francisco Bay area, staying in fabulous new regional park in the East Bay, where we spend an unexpected $900+USD when the water pump, followed by the serpentine belt gave out in our truck! Fortunately, we were in a big centre with lots of access to mechanics and parts!

We picked up friends who arrived from Scotland and together the 4 of us made our way back to Canada, via wine tastings and microbreweries!

We loved catching up with family en route, and it was fun to play tour guide to our Scottish friends! We took them out to my favourite place in the world, (the west coast of Vancouver Island), as well as visiting the famous Butchart Gardens, (in the POURING rain), finishing with 2 nights in Vancouver.

So...I've definitely not been lollygagging or wallowing in sorrow over the sale of our place, although when I see it tomorrow evening for the first time since the sale, I may have a wee wallow. Until next time...

i don't know why people are surprised by the CT thing. jensen has never been settled in Austin. The guy has not spent more then a few months at a time there, literally ever. There's just no vancouver to flit between since SPN ended, but he ALWAYS seem to have at least two home bases on the go

Anon2: What did you mean it’s another Colorado and the circumstances are similar? If we believe what jensen himself has said, then wasn’t that move Covid related?

I do think that covid was part of it, especially why Colorado, but I don't think it was all of it. They just enjoy changing scenery, changing their houses, and staying busy. It's a lot of work to be renovating a house, and if Danneel is the type to be unclogging toilets, and vacuuming precariously, she probably does a lot of the work herself.

Most of the wealthy people I know, when they buy a new house, they just hire a designer. The designer gets their input, but picks out almost everything themselves. They show their picks to the clients, and the clients pick from a limited selection. It sounds like Danneel does the designing.

I mentioned before a couple I know who own multiple houses and renovate the houses. Although the wife doesn't install floors or paint herself, she spends a lot of time deciding on the colors, how she wants to renovate the house, and visiting various stores to acquire furniture and things. For example, for a room that's to be used to watch TV/movies, the whole room is designed around the theme of movies with throw pillows, coasters, wall art, standing art etc all fitting the theme.

Here's Danneel at an estate sale for a wedding venue in Texas:

Now, I don't know which particular properties she's looking at to purchase versus to have inspiration for her purchases, but this is one of her hobbies.

Might they end up staying in this house in Connecticut for years? Sure, it's possible. It's just my guess that it's another Colorado based on their past history.

Kevin Kolde.

Kevin Kolde has an incredible history in the cartoon business. In fact, he’s changed cartoons on television and streaming forever. But it’s only been in the last few years he’s stepped out of the shadows with his triumphant production of Castlevania on Netflix. He started several years before at  Frederator Studios, but hey, I’m proud that we’ve worked together for almost two decades.

And before I say anything else let my immense gratitude to Kevin, along with Eric Homan, for running Frederator Studios over the years when I was involved in a series of ventures that may have complemented the studio, but definitely distracted me more than they should have.

Kevin and I first met when he was the VP of sales & marketing of a toy and paint company in his home state of Michigan and he’d licensed some original characters from John Kricfalusi, creator of Ren & Stimpy. Kevin knew great talent when he saw it.

It seemed like minutes later, Kevin moved his family to Burbank and partnered with John to run SPüMCø; he proceeded to learn the cartoon business and became a world class producer. For several years I tried to recruit Kevin over to Frederator, and after overseeing a dozen projects for SPüMCø –including Ren & Stimpy’s Adult Cartoon Party for Spike– he made the move and joined Eric Homan to run our Hollywood office.

There’s too much history with our studio to go into detail, but suffice it to say that Kevin and Eric were an unbeatable combination. Sure Eric ‘developed’ and Kevin ‘produced,’ but honestly, it was a total collaboration. There aren’t many producers that have the creative insight that Kevin has, and putting it together with an almost flawless approach to the actual “making” of cartoons, Kevin managed the deals, the budgets, voice casting and acting, and animation of hundreds of episodes Frederator’s creators brought to life.

I can be a pretty lazy producer, more like Tom Sawyer in many ways. If there’s someone else to paint the fence, I’m all for it. But, working with Kevin, as hard as he managed the thousands of details, legal, creative and otherwise, I couldn’t help but becoming more and more cognizant of what actually went into our films. After all, we basically started in the business about the same time, but he was way smarter than I was.

As soon as Kevin came over to Frederator he told me about his personal creative interests, which weren’t really in the wheelhouse I’d imagined for us. I was primarily interested in, and produced, comedy cartoons. Besides cartoons, Kevin was into video games and told me that he thought games were perfectly adaptable for animation. Like many gaming aficionados his disgust of the live action adaptations of the time was total. He’d optioned a couple of properties, and excitedly told me he wanted to hold them out of our deal, especially since one of them was horror, and pretty violent, and outside the lines of Frederator.

Talent is talent and “producing” talent is as valuable of anything else. Basically, I told Kevin that if he was into it, whether or not I understood video games –I don’t– I believed in him and his judgement. If he saw clear to keeping the projects with Frederator, I was in.

Alongside of producing our first series together, Kevin zeroed in on getting Warren Ellis to write his first, fantastic feature screenplay, got James Jean to create some inspirational art, and started bringing the project to possible partners.

Crickets. To make a long story short, for almost 10 years Kevin got the door slammed in his face. But, as they say, he persisted. No one understood what an American animated horror movie could be, how it could thrive in the marketplace. Still, he persisted. Finally the pieces came together. Kevin connected with the spectacular creative team at Powerhouse Animation in Austin, Texas, who understood anime production better than anyone else in the United States. Netflix, in it’s most experimental moment at the beginning of their streaming adventure, understood Kevin’s adaptation of Warren’s screenplay into a mini-series. The rest is history.

Kevin changed his life based on his passions. He took his production skills and stepped up to becoming a world class showrunner, a rarity for a non-writer. Other people tried to take the credit, but honestly, it was all Kevin all the time. He oversaw every detail of every frame of film for Castlevania. He’s announced a second series in the Castlevania “universe,” set in 1792 France against the backdrop of the French Revolution. Whew.

OK, I’ve completely skipped over Kevin’s critical role in all of our 2000′s shorts shows, and his collaboration with Eric Homan in getting Pendleton Ward’s  Adventure Time/Bravest Warriors and Natasha Allegri’s Bee and PuppyCat (and sure, there are many more) made and placed. But, suffice it to say, it would have been hard to get much done at Frederator without Kevin.

What a star. As ever, how lucky am I to work with someone as wonderful as Kevin Kolde?

I’ve posted often about my mentors, the people I’ve learned the most from. And I’ve noted how often how many of them beg to differ as to whether or not I should credit them as such. So, I’ve calmed down in my titling. But still…

Dallas is Urban Land Institute's No. 1 real estate market to watch

Dallas-Fort Worth is Urban Land Institute’s No. 1 real estate market watch heading into next year.

The metroplex’s star rose from its third-place ranking last year in the real estate and land use nonprofit’s annual forecast.

DFW has ranked in the top 10 for the last six years, the report said.

The rankings are based on industry experts’ ratings of cities’ real estate measures, like investment opportunity.

This year, Houston ranked third. San Antonio came in 13th.

Austin’s reign appears to be at an end.

Once ranked the third-best real estate market, it fell to No. 5 last year and was ranked 15th going into next year.

Sun Belt markets are heavily represented on ULI’s list.

Of the top 20 markets, 13 are in the Sun Belt. Eight of those are in Texas or Florida.

The report highlights DFW’s “enviable post-pandemic recovery.”

Employment in the metroplex has grown more than 11 percent since February 2020, fourth behind Austin, and North Carolina’s Charleston and Raleigh.

Dallas’ economic success has been getting a boost from the world’s largest banks, which are increasingly planting their flags — and expensive new headquarters — in North Texas.

“Y’all Street,” Texas’ answer to Wall Street, is coming to life in Dallas’ popular Uptown neighborhood, with Hunt Realty’s NorthEnd, a mixed-use project that will include a $500 million campus for Goldman Sachs, and Parkside Uptown, a Pacific Elm office development that will house Bank of America.

Despite North Texas’ economic success, home-buying in the region remains relatively affordable.

Median home prices in Dallas have increased 38 percent since early 2020 to $382,000, but that’s still less than Redfin’s national median home sale price, which is about $400,000, according to the report.

ULI’s 2025 forecast also ranked cities’ homebuilding prospects and local market perspective.

On both of those lists, DFW came in fourth.

[classic-property-management]

Dallas-Fort Worth has lost its spot as the No. 1 new home sales market in Texas, according to a new report.

DFW, which led all Texas metros in sales of newly built homes for much of 2023, has been No. 2 to Houston every month in 2024, according to data from Dallas-based HomesUSA.com.

New home sales in Dallas-Fort Worth posted a three-month moving average of 1,848 in September. That compares with 1,943 sales in the Houston metro area, 1,067 in the San Antonio area and 864 in the Austin area.

LEON BRIDGES RELEASES FOURTH STUDIO ALBUM LEON

GRAMMY® Award-winning Texas recording artist, songwriter, and performer Leon Bridges shares his fourth studio album Leon via Columbia Records. 

Starting the week with an intimate underplay three-night residency at Austin’s legendary Continental Club, Leon treated the audiences to brand new songs from the Leon album as well as beloved favorites.

Says Leon on the album, “Leon is the genre.”

The album’s release follows the first single “Peaceful Place,” fan track “Laredo” and the Fallon-debuted “That’s What I Love.” Recorded and produced by Ian Fitchuk (Kacey Musgraves, Maggie Rogers) at El Desierto on the outskirts of Mexico City with co-production from Daniel Tashian (Kacey Musgraves) in Nashville, Leon features 13 handcrafted tracks spotlighting Leon’s signature storytelling and organic genre alchemy. Leon unfolds as his most poignant, powerful, and personal body of work to date as the man himself takes you through the streets he knows best, the things he holds dearest, and the memories of the people and place that shaped him. Six years in the making, this record is unmistakably Leon. Check out the full tracklisting below. Leon builds on the legacy of Leon Bridges' three previous albums, Gold-Diggers Sound, Good Thing, and Coming Home, all of which received GRAMMY nominations for Best R&B Album.

Bookended appropriately with Texas dates, Leon launches Leon Bridges: The Leon Tour this weekend at ACL Festival in Austin.

Things to Know Before Moving to Texas: A Comprehensive Guide

Texas is a land of vast opportunities, diverse landscapes, and a culture all its own. Whether you're moving for work, seeking adventure, or just ready for a change of pace, the Lone Star State has something to offer everyone. Before you pack up your belongings and head south, here are some things you should know to make your move smoother and more enjoyable.

1. Size Matters

Texas is massive. It’s the second-largest state in the U.S., behind Alaska, and driving from one end to the other can take over 12 hours. That means everything from road trips to daily commutes may involve a lot of driving. Be prepared to spend time behind the wheel, and make sure your vehicle is in top shape!

Pro Tip: Get used to the phrase “everything is bigger in Texas” – because it's true for highways, cities, and even weather events!

2. Diverse Climate

One of the most significant misconceptions about Texas is that it's all desert. In reality, the state has a wide variety of climates, ranging from arid in the west to humid and coastal in the east. Summers can be scorching, particularly in central and southern parts, where temperatures often exceed 100°F. Winters vary from mild in cities like Houston to colder snaps in the Panhandle or Dallas.

Recommendation: Make sure your new home has a reliable air conditioning system and, if you're building a shed or cabin, consider insulation and ventilation to withstand the heat.

3. Cost of Living

Texas is known for having a lower cost of living compared to other states like California and New York. Cities like Houston, San Antonio, and Dallas offer affordable housing options, but costs can be higher in rapidly growing areas like Austin. Property taxes are higher than the national average, which can surprise new residents, especially those moving from states with lower rates.

Fun Fact: Texas has no state income tax! However, that’s balanced by higher property and sales taxes.

4. Texan Pride is Real

Texans are fiercely proud of their state. From the state flag flying high to BBQ cookouts and Friday night football games, the sense of community and local pride is palpable. If you’re moving from out of state, embracing the local culture will help you settle in more smoothly. Learn the basics of Texas history, pick up some local slang, and you’ll fit right in.

5. Job Market and Economy

Texas has a robust economy with thriving industries in technology, energy, healthcare, and agriculture. Cities like Austin have emerged as tech hubs, attracting startups and large companies. Houston remains a global energy leader, particularly in oil and gas. This strong economy, coupled with Texas' friendly business climate, makes it a great place for entrepreneurs and job seekers alike.

6. Outdoor Adventure

If you love the outdoors, Texas won’t disappoint. The state is home to everything from vast plains and deserts to lush forests and stunning coastlines. You can hike in Big Bend National Park, swim in the Gulf of Mexico, or explore the Texas Hill Country. For nature lovers, the opportunities for adventure are endless.

Pro Tip: Invest in a sturdy shed or cabin for your outdoor gear. Having a dedicated space for bikes, fishing equipment, or camping gear will make it easy to take advantage of all that Texas has to offer.

7. Friendly People

You’ll hear this a lot: Texans are friendly. The state's strong sense of hospitality means you’ll likely be greeted with a warm welcome. Neighbors are quick to lend a hand, and people generally look out for one another. Expect to engage in more conversations with strangers than you might be used to – it’s just part of the charm.

8. Transportation and Infrastructure

Texas’ public transportation infrastructure is not as extensive as in places like New York or Chicago. If you’re moving to a big city, like Houston or Dallas, you’ll likely need a car to get around. While some cities, like Austin, are trying to expand public transit, most Texans rely heavily on their vehicles.

A Recommendation for New Texans: Consider a Shed or Cabin

Whether you're settling in a city or a more rural area, having a quality shed or cabin on your property can be incredibly useful. Texans love the outdoors, and with the state's variable climate and vast landscapes, a shed provides valuable storage space and even expands your living area.

Benefits of a Shed or Cabin in Texas:

Storage for Outdoor Equipment: If you plan on hiking, hunting, or enjoying water activities, a shed is a great place to store all your gear.

Extra Living Space: Many Texans use sheds as guest cabins, workshops, or even home offices. With a bit of insulation and some creative touches, a shed can become a cozy space for you or your guests.

Weather Protection: Texas weather can be unpredictable. High-quality sheds are built to withstand the heat, wind, and rain. Make sure to invest in a shed with durable materials to protect your belongings year-round.

Customization: Cabin sheds are incredibly customizable, whether you want a rustic, countryside look or a more modern, practical design. You can add ventilation, insulation, windows, and even solar panels to enhance the usability of the space.

Conclusion

Moving to Texas is an exciting adventure, but there are a few things to keep in mind as you make the transition. From the hot summers to the warm hospitality, Texas has a lot to offer, and knowing what to expect will make your move much smoother. And as you settle in, consider adding a shed or cabin to your property. Not only will it add value, but it will also make life in Texas a little more comfortable and organized.

Welcome to Texas, y’all!
