Is this a good SFR deal? San Marcos , TX

Seems like cash flow is impossible in Austin but if you go further South, North, or East you can find some good pockets that have decent cash flow.
Ran the numbers on this property in San Marcos, and it seems to work well (~$200/month).

The rental next door is slightly older and smaller.

You are looking in the right areas for cash flow opportunities @Nicholas Thompson. The best opportunities for cash flow in interior Austin are in zip codes 78744 and 78724, even then it's rare. There are opportunities in Kyle and Buda, though San Marcos's growth pattern and it being in Hays county gives it a leg up. Hard to miss along the 35 corridor
