It's tough to swallow, but if it's not renting, it's likely as simple as the market won't bear the price you're asking.

Quote from @John Paul Palace: Our plan was to invest locally, however our market here is tough.

-With my current role in my career and trajectory, I will be able to make the move out of midland in 1-2 years, so I would love the ability to leave and not worry about my home sitting on the market when we are trying to buy a home in Austin.Those are some of my thoughts and I would love to understand the reasoning for/ against this.

We're an appreciation market, not as much of a cash flow market here, unless you're putting a large down payment or actively managing STR's.Buying out-of-state can get you more cash flow, but the tradeoff is less appreciation (usually), and cash flow can be eaten up by maintenance and expenses.
