My wife and I are looking to do our first BRRRR on a property and are scoping out a few different markets. Where are the rest of you all having good luck?

Cheers!

@Rob B. - Thank you! My wife is from Austin and her mother is a Real Estate investor who is helping guide us. Is your friend on Bigger Pockets? Always looking to network with like minded investors.

@Neil Narayan for sure. Keeping an eye out for deals - we do want to park an investment in Austin.

I’ve heard arguments on both sides:

-That it’s too late to get in the rental housing market in Austin because the rents aren’t keeping up with property prices.

-Or that there are still a lot of great deals in Austin and it’s growing very quickly.

Thoughts here? My wife and I are looking to invest and have roots in Austin even though we live in Los Angeles...so we have a network in Austin as opposed to Kansas City for example.

Thanks y’all!

@Rob B. I'm interested in Austin - but there is some debate about it being "too late" to invest there. Thoughts on that? Also, which areas are you finding to be best for investment properties? 
Thank you!
