New Contruction Austin Suburbs

[Vishal Moorjani]

Hi All!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful day! I had a question that I was hoping some people can chime in on..

I'm looking to buy some single family investment properties in the surrounding Austin areas. I've targeted a few areas but wanted to know some peoples input since I am out of state (I live in NJ). I'm looking to buy a new construction for my first property. Something low maintenance for the first one and once I get a feel for the area and network then I'll look at other things. I've noticed there are some towns where you can get some new builds in the low to mid 200s. I've narrowed them to Kyle, Georgetown, New Braunfels, Jarell. 

From what I see New Braunfels and Jarell are a bit too far. I imagine someone who buys something there is not commuting to Austin for work. So I guess it brings it down to Kyle and Georgetown. 

I was wondering if anyone has any experience in these towns and can give any input? Is one town better than the other? The purpose here is to buy and hold long term so I am not sure which town has more opportunity for development. 

Thanks again everyone for the help! And if anyone needs any help in NJ, I am always here to give my input!
