1. Austin
2. Houston
3. Dallas

I haven't picked 4 & 5 yet. So far I've had some pretty good success in my first 3 picks so I haven't spread out from there yet.

The best markets are picked by finding the markets with the highest rent growth, which is found in areas with the highest job growth. One great resource for studying potential markets is the annual Best Performing Cities Index put out by the Milkin Institute. It's a must-read when searching for Multifamily opportunities outside of your own backyard.
