What are good neighborhoods in Cooper Cove, Killeen, or Temple

[Brian Lagman]

Hello BP community,

I'm a new real estate investor living in the Bay Area. I'm an engineer and fortunate to have 2 properties in an expensive area but my rental property is not cash flowing. I've done extensive research and narrowed down my market in northern Austin. It's a direct flight away and there are properties less than $150k within my budget. One day I would like to retire early and help my family become financially free. I would like to learn what areas to invest in my first out-of-state property in Cooper Cove, Killeen, or Temple. What areas should I stay away from and what areas should invest in? I'm trying to mitigate future head and pick people's minds to help me gain a growing real estate portfolio. Happy to connect with others within the Texas area.
