Investment Property in Austin - recommendations

[Shahzad Shaikh]

Hey folks. New to the forum and BP, looking to source some advice from Austin MSA veterans. 

I am researching investment properties (leaning SFH, buy and hold for at least 5-7 year) in Greater Austin. Would love opinions on what area/neighborhood/city would be the best bet. Looking in the the $250-300k range. Would appreciate decent cash flow, but much more focused on potential for appreciation.

I will be investing from California so any tips and tricks on owning and managing property in TX would also be much appreciated.
