I am interested in rental SFRs in Austin - because of it's foundation in tech as is mine, because I'm interested in appreciation more than cash flow (still positive cash flow is a must of course). I want to be in a long term hold pattern and I prefer stronger urban areas with lots of jobs to hedge against a correction. We might eventually move there, and that has influenced me to a small extent to look at Austin.

I am interested in buying two properties - on a scale of A-C, one in a class A neighborhood, and while I don't think the math would be quite there at the higher end, I'm open as far as budget, and another in a class B neighborhood that's shaping up well. I am not looking for a mind blowing deal - I know they are not easy to get and I don't want to bide my time waiting for one to magically appear especially as someone not in any secret society. However I need a strong agent who can propose fundamentally sound investment SFRs with solid math based on our cash position and risk appetite.

I've already spoken to a couple of agents, but I'm not completely sure I vibe with them 100%. If anyone here has used an agent they would recommend, I'd love to talk to them. (ETA: preferably someone who has a real estate history longer than the recent bull market and known what it is to invest during the down cycle as well). If anyone has specific neighborhoods that they'd recommend based on my preamble above, I'd love to hear those. I have a couple of acquaintances in the Round Rock/Cedar Park area, and I am familiar with the school districts from having talked to my close friend who lived there (she doesn't anymore) but am otherwise not in the know, so please throw some names and numbers at me to help me out.

Austin, Texas
