Hii I am a first time investor trying to understand if Austin is a good market to buy a SFH and rent.

I’ve tried VRBO and Furnished Finder, but they didn’t perform well in my market.

I am more likely to take a risk, but i suspect when my husband is out from under a controlling baby mama, he won’t mind a little risk either.I love Texas, try to vacation there often and my husband is aligned with Texas farm property as a ten year long term goal.I’m also passionate about the trades and if i could do it all again I’d be part owner of some kind of builder or remodeler or specialty trades business.
