Once the investors are ready to move on, and many of my CA investors are tired of California for either price or political reasons, Austin becomes a market to move that equity into.

I am the opposite I have never bought new tires for a car in the last 20 plus years except for my Porsche which chews them up. and my model X Tesla which weighs a ton.. when i need new tires I get a new car :)  PS when the clutch went out on the Porsche at 25k miles and out of warranty it was 5k to fix it..

This would disincentivize tire-kicking and over-pricing, I hope. 

I don't really want to get into another project until next year anyway (I'm tired lol).

It sounds like you are going to be a tire kicker wasting your time and your agents time with unreasonable expectations.

Meanwhile some dumps 2 old mattresses and a bunch of tires in the front yard.

Move on from "tire kickers" - deals that waste time and energy!!! 

I personally sold close to 30 I owned in an ascending market (sold prematurely) and know plenty of others who have had the same experiences in markets across the US. 

We found this lead through SMS marketing targeting tired landlords.

Example, Are they tired of dealing with tenants and maintenance?
