New in Real Estate - Austin, TX

[Caleb Godsey]

Hello Everyone! 

I'm new to the idea of real estate investing! I've been listening to the Bigger Pockets podcasts, reading many real estate books and just trying to learn as much as possible about real estate investing so when the time comes, I'm prepared and ready to jump in by buying my first rental property!

I'm currently located in Iowa City, IA but will be moving to Austin, TX in the next couple weeks. Would love to hear any opinions on either of these markets as I'm currently researching what it would be like to purchase in Austin vs Iowa City/Cedar Rapids area. Many differences as one is much more expensive but one would be managed from a distance!

Glad to be part of a great real estate community!
