I am looking for to BRRRR in either Texas or Georgia...or both

[Fe F.]

Hi there,

I am looking at different states to get started on rentals/BRRRR and am looking at the areas below. Unfortunately, my budget is small so I am looking for 2-3 properties for under 100k each preferably. I am already looking in FL, where I have PM, agent, contractor etc. there, but also into these areas:

Dallas, TX

Houston, TX

Lithonia, GA - but mainly any city that has potential - I am looking into GA because I am pre-approved there. 

Potentially Austin, TX (or Buda, Georgetown, San Antonio and surroundings), IF I can find any deals

Questions: 

- if you know these areas well, what are some zip codes I should look into? I don't want luxury (well, my budget) but don't want any war zones either.

- if you know a good (i.e. you have done business with and are pleased with their service) property management, RE agent,  and contractor in the areas (except Austin, where I have connections), would you feel comfortable with sharing their contact info.?  

Feel free to let me know if you don't think these areas are a good idea, just tell me why. :)

Thank you!
