Reading the local market
Im trying to determine how im going to start my new business in real estate investing. I know that learning the current housing market is a huge way to figure that out. However, looking at the Austin market (where I currently live) its at an all time high. There's nearly no inventory, multiple offers are above the value of the properties. I have no idea how to start here. Perhaps I should look somewhere else?
