Hello everyone! I am a new member to the community, currently located out of Southern CA. I have a duplex in Southern CA I currently own/live in, and have purchased one vacation rental that is working out well, but am looking to expand into both the buy and flip and buy and hold markets. Can anyone provide some markets they seem to be having success in? My current game plan is to look heavily into Dallas, San Antonio, and Austin (may be priced out of Austin). I have a primary source of income (~100k per year), but looking to get to the point where real estate investing can be my full time gig. If anyone has any helpful tips, or words of caution, please let me know!

Thanks,

Tyler

Welcome to Bigger Pockets Tyler. Austin and San Antonio are good, but I would say Sam Antonio has a better buy and hold market. We have a lot of investors we work with here, and our military presence helps to take care of our rental market quite nicely. Reach out if you would like more information.

Thank you.
