Looking to invest in Texas
Hello,
Currently have properties here in Orange County with a partner and we are looking to invest in Texas. Trouble is we have no experience with the State let alone areas that make sense.
We invest primarily in 3-4 Plex units.
Just wondering if anyone can offer advice regarding best cities to invest and ares within the cities.
We are looking for 3-5 Properties...
Just looking for friendly advice of what not to do and what to do in the state of Texas.
Brian

it's important to understand that Austin and the surrounding area have really reach the peak it's very difficult to reach the 1% rule. A lot of investors are going to copperas cove temple, belton area. I found a great broker that knows a lot of off market deals and he's also very comfortable working with investors. Contact @barry Ratliff he live in belton TX.
