You need to get more specific about what you are looking for. There are not many deals here in Austin and about 10k+ investors looking for them. Without a larger down payment most deals do not make sense. In addition to that most local investment oriented agents have a long list of investors looking for properties that would be way ahead of you to get them. 

It is still worth looking but do not expect to see much that makes sense without a large down payment (30-40%) unless you are good with negative cash flow or a break even right now. This is not negative just realistic right now.
