Buying Real Estate in Austin

[Hira Man Shrestha]

Hi guys, 
I am a software engineer working in San Francisco. I am planning to move to Austin in next 1-2 years. In the meantime, I am planning to buy a condo or townhouse in next 3-6 months as an investment before I move there. 

If the rental pays for the real estate mortgage then I will buy a house, otherwise, I might just move in.  Where would be a good place to start to look into condo/townhouse that is close to tech market?
