Real Estate Investing in Arizona/Texas

[Jacob Flores]

Hello everyone!

Had a quick question. I currently live in California and I am looking to invest into a more affordable market. I am 21 years old and I am thinking about moving towards Arizona or Texas to do my first house hack! I am excited but I don't know anything or know any place in those two states so I wanted to ask you guys some recommendations of cities to take a look at. 

I plan to take a road trip to both states and take a look around and get a feel for not only the market to invest but a nice place to live. This is going to be a big step in my life, I have been living with my girlfriend for the past few years for only $700 of rent in California (we live in a 26 foot trailer on a nice piece of property with a full hookup) split between both of us to cut expenses and save as much money as possible for an investment. So if you guys had some recommendations of cities to see on my road trip it would help me narrow down my search a lot!

Thank you!

Do you have an idea which city? Austin is the Ferrari or appreciation, but very hard to house hack considering what duplexes are priced at. Houston and San Antonio are still fairly affordable
