Greetings! New here! (Bay Area/Austin, TX)
Hello everyone!
I'm new here but I've been listening to the BP podcasts for some time now as well as lurking around the forums for the past few weeks so I decided it was time to introduce myself! I live in San Francisco but am originally from Austin, TX and looking to invest in a multi-family property in Austin. I am a first time buyer, have excellent credit and great income. I am very familiar with the Austin area, however, I am new to real estate so any and all info is much appreciated!

@Stephen McDowell Any luck with this? I live in San Francisco as well and am starting to consider Austin, TX for my next property.
