Austin Neighborhoods for Rentals

[Sarah Klein]

Hi BP, first-time investor here who's planning on "house hacking" by living in the first property I buy and having roommates / tenants help me pay down my mortgage. 

I'm currently located in Austin, TX, and am looking at properties here. 

What are some up-and-coming neighborhoods that you think would make good rental investments in Austin? Also, how do you evaluate if a neighborhood will make for a promising investment? 

Thank you,
Sarah
