flipping out in Austin

[Scott Lepore]

I just moved to Austin from Denver.  So far it has lived up to it's reputation as a nice place to put down roots.  Drivers here are WAAAAY more courteous than Denver drivers (at least that is my experience thus far).  Most drivers here aren't glued to your bumper and they actually stop for red lights instead of barreling through them like they are color blind.  

Anyhooo, enough rambling. I've been flipping/renting houses in Denver since 2009. Looking for new contacts here in Austin. This year I want to buy 2 or 3 SFH for flipping and/or renting and I am looking to buy a 4-plex. Just learning the area and have heard the 78745 area has potential and perhaps other south Austin metro areas and north suburbs like Cedar Park and RR perhaps? I'm looking for a whole new team. Please reply with your input on "do-able" areas in Austin and other general thoughts. And PM if you would like to grab some coffee on Congress perhaps (if that's not the name of a coffee shop here, it should be). Oh, yeah, and any input into the best networking (not sales pitching) meet-ups would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
