Running numbers for investors/clients that have purchased in the Austin MSA as well as two rental properties I personally picked up in the last 30 days in Austin and Round Rock illustrate that it is possible.  

Thanks guys, you rock!

Long story short, I am wondering if it is more important to find a rock star realtor that has been in the game for a while and has a lot of sales under their belt, or do I go with an agent that is also an investor in the area and knows the rules but doesn't have many sales under their belt? 

I work with a rock star team.

You see it's a crazed gyration of the rock generationIt's my motivation to avoid the nauseation, frustrationWhen I need some lubrication, baby!

@Seth Hutson Hi Seth, I’m looking at a few locations... not too specific but North Little Rock, Conway and Fort Smith look to be decent cities with good price to rent ratios.

I've found a promising one in Colorado (haven't yet drilled into the PPM but initial hour on the phone with a key operator was extremely positive) and it sounds like an incredible backstop if a 1031 hits the rocks and fails for any number of reasons.
