First Investment Property

[Renee Lindgren]

My husband and I are looking for our first investment property. Our goal would be to buy 2 investment properties in 2021. We live in Southern California, but are looking in Austin, TX or Sacramento, CA. Any advice on pros/cons? Both areas I suspect would have growth for a buy and hold strategy. Texas worries me because the high property taxes. Would that be a reason alone to not select that area? Any advice would be great.
