Newbie to The hot Austin market- Tips?

[Elizabeth Hernandez]

Hi all!! Tossing some newbie ideas and a quick intro.

My ideal starting niche is SF homes in South Austin for Buy and Hold for ~225K. From my understanding Cashflow is not the name of the game in Austin, but rather appreciation. To commence I have considered getting a Real Estate sales license to gain a better understanding of the process. Local Meet ups to learn from the seasoned investors. To give y'all perspective here is a bit about me- I live in Houston, but plan to make a move to Austin in the soon. I work FT, I'm a new mom, and these things keep me motivated!!! 

Tips would be very much appreciated!
