Hi Jordan,

What are the zip codes you have invested in on the east side? What kind of appreciation and cash flows have you seen on your investments?

@Anshul G. - are you planning to live in the home and maybe house-hack?  Really depends on your budget and plans... if you're planning to live in the home, it opens up a ton of financing options that wouldn't be available if you're just buying an investment property.  Happy to chat and explore more deeply if you like. 

I do plan to move into the house for about a year or so, but we may ultimately end up moving to the west coast once the covid situation settles down (still undecided on the move though). How is the financing/mortgage impacted if you need to rent out the house a year or so after the purchase?

@Anshul G. Welcome to BP and always happy to connect with Austin investors. There are several different areas to consider depending on your more specific goals. Are you open to renovations? Some light remodeling? Do you plan to have a property manager or self manage? Do you want single family or small multi family? Budget?

if you are open to adding some sweat equity (remodeling), several Austin zip codes in the north, east, and south have options for you. If you want something “lower” relative cost and less work, I would focus on Pflugerville, Round Rock, Cedar Park, and evening Leander. There are many factors to consider, so hopefully this gives you a broad overview of options.

Hi Ryan,

Thanks for the response. For my first investment, I don’t want to make it too complicated. So I’ll want something in “ready state”. I’m open to both single and multi-family if the numbers make sense, but I hear multi-family are fewer and far between and extremely competitive. Looking to invest $350-375k. What are some of the zip codes that have seen the greatest appreciation and have potential for future appreciation as well?

Hey guys, 

I am new to Austin- moved here during the pandemic. I work in tech and new to real estate investing. I’m looking to buy in or around the Austin area. What are some of the good areas/zip codes to invest right now? What has been the impact of covid on the prices in Austin? My goal is appreciation- (little cash flow would be nice). Hoping to connect with fellow investors and real estate agents.

Thanks, 
Anshul
