Military member looking for house hack in Austin, TX

Military man for the past 26 years.  I am still in, and managing a large scale maintenance program for the National Guard on a full time basis.  I am a big fan of Bigger Pockets.  The podcasts are the only things keeping me sane on the long road trips I take on a weekly basis.

I have just completed my first major rehab in Houston, TX. It was a flood house that I took down to the studs. I did a majority of the work myself, and am not scared of sweat equity. Finished the BRRRR in July 2018.

My long term strategy is to acquire a large rental portfolio to make enough passive income to retire from the Army and not have to work again if I don't want to.  I want to spend quality time with my young children.

The Army has recently assigned me to Austin, TX for the next 6-8 months.  I would like to find a single family or preferably multifamily house to live in and rehab while I am here.  I will turn it into a rental or AirBnB when I return to Houston.  I am looking for local agents/wholesalers that can help me find that perfect property.  I am also looking for local meet ups to get some contacts and start experiencing the Austin area.

I look forward to meeting investors in the Austin area.
