Multifamily is top of mind since it provides a mix of efficiency and long-term growth.

I consider inventory rates, price trends, unemployment data, population growth, job growth all to be relevant to where a market is at and where a market is heading.

Long term, the Austin market will do just fine with strong population and job growth.

I checked all state basis only CA can sustain high growth in home price. 2024 would be fun. 

That's how I started, with a company called Flip More Deals (currently called the Growth Collective) they were very hands on and helped me through the entire process and connected me with a lender and gap funder, very hands on you should check them out.

Many of our investors choose areas that have low land cost and steady population growth.

They’ve been solid investments, with rising rents and property appreciation, but over the last 2 years, skyrocketing HOA fees and stagnant value growth have reduced cash flow.

And equity growth has been great since then.

Quote from @Faris Wright: As a new investor, I'm weighing the benefits of focusing on appreciation for long-term growth versus cash flow for immediate returns.

Not really a growth city in my opinion.
