Austin (TX), Charlotte (NC), Atlanta (GA) : Pros & Cons

[John Doeing]

I would like to invite fellow investors and real estate experts to compare and contrast investing in Austin (TX) "Nor&wesburbs" (Round Rock, Pflugerville, Leander, Cedar Park) vs. Charlotte "souburbs" (NC / SC) and Atlanta (GA) "Norburbs" in terms of

• Current and past rise in prices (P$), future growth (Gr%), rental potential (R$), 
• how good is the tenancy, quality of demography* (Demo: Best-to-Worst), maintainability (Mnt), availability of good rental mgt. companies (Misc) etc. crime rates (safest 1 to least 5) , natural risks (Disaster Index),
• Insurances (In$), property taxes (Ptax$)
  

(Note: *Quality of demography has nothing to do with race, age, gender, family structure etc. It simply means tenants (occupants) of the property are responsible, pay on-time, and don't damage the property, don't indulge in criminal activities or violence nor pose threats).
