looking to buy in Austin, TX
Hey everyone,
I am a first time buyer from Boston looking to move to the Austin area for work. I will not be making the move until the Spring, but I will be visiting Austin next month and would like to connect with some folks while I am down there. I am currently looking for recommendations for an investor friendly real estate agent and local lenders.
Ideally, I am looking for a SFH to do a live and flip and turn into a long term rental. I'm a vet so I plan on using VA or FHA which of course means the property can't need too extensive of a renovation. Something dated with good bones would be right up my alley. I do not really have a time constraint as I am working remotely so I am interested in entertaining short sales as well.
Additionally, I am a fresh college grad and would love to connect and learn from a current investors in the area. I'd be happy to help out and learn in the process!
Cheers,
Miles
