Cash flow vs appreciation?

[James Lindsey]

hello everyone,

I am just starting out in Austin, Tx and I have been running the numbers on all the properties I can find here in Austin for the past couple of months. I am searching for a multiplex to house hack however I have not been able to find hardly any properties at all single family or otherwise that would properly cash flow here. The appreciation however will be awesome no matter what I buy here. So if my main concern is cash flow should I be willing to give that up for buy and hold appreciation in a market like this? This would be my first home purchase. I am very new to the game.
