Looking for investment property - Atlanta, Austin or Raleigh

[Anks Desai]

I am considering an investment property mostly for appreciation purposes. I have heard great things about all the three cities: Atlanta, Austin and Raleigh but looking to understand which is best suited for good long term appreciation. I am ok with being minor cash flow negative too as long as it prices go up longer term. I am mostly looking for tech related growth opportunities.

Austin - A tech hub already, good universities, and trendy town. However, I feel like prices have shot up a lot lately. Not sure how much upside is remaining.

Raleigh - I see many tech jobs moving to Raleigh area and has good universities too.

Atlanta - I see some tech jobs moving to Atlanta too, but concerned about crime rate, etc.

Which city do you think is best posted for long term appreciation?

@Anks Desai I am a investor/realtor in Atlanta. The Atlanta BeltLine is Atlanta’s newest outdoor space and is comprised of 22 miles of unused railroad tracks circling the core of the city’s in-town neighborhoods. From trails and walkways to open green space and parks, the Atlanta BeltLine works to connect people throughout the city. The very hot neighborhoods around the beltline offer an opportunity to get in for under market value (light renovation) or at or slightly above market value (turn key) and have great appreciation in the next 2-5 years. Some areas that you should research are: 

Grove Park ( Microsoft moving here) - https://www.ajc.com/news/atlan...

West End / Pittsburgh Neighborhood 

Edgewood 

Non Beltline

Decatur- Lots of renovations and Flips

College Park ( Airport City being built here) - https://www.collegeparkga.com/...
