Our first spotlight restaurant had to be none other than Vitek's BBQ. Located at 1600 Speight Avenue. Vitek's was for long time a Baylor student dive, and now the world is coming to experience the GUT PAK! Check out http://www.viteksbbq.com for more information. But if you're a rookie going to try the place out - you must begin with the Gut Pak. Enjoy.

Good morning!

It is hard to believe that this year has now come to an end. Many of you

have asked us what we are seeing to be the trends into 2012. For the

most part, we see 2012 to be very similar to 2011. Federal tax credits

are over for the housing market, interest rates will remain at their

historical lows, pricing will remain competitive, and investors along

with 1st time buyers will flood the markets.

As always, we love the Waco, TX market and feel blessed to be here.

Please remember our sites:

What if you had the opportunity to purchase a home on a 15 year mortgage, allow us to find you a renter, 15 years from now own the home free and clear, and in 18 years sell the home and have most (if not all) of your child or grandchild's college tuition paid for?

What if you COULD sell your home for what you paid for it (despite what CNN says) and buy another home that is worth 12-18% more than the one you have owned - with the SAME or LESS MONEY PER month?

What if you could take the $1000 per month you are currently spending on rent, and pay less than that each month with an FHA/VA loan on a home worth $130,000?

This is opportunity that lies before all of us. For more details on what is available, check out www.TheWacoHomeFinder.com.

Make it a great week!
