Compared that with San Antonio (like areas around 1604 ring), where you can get much better houses (newer, cheaper), but with low rents too, because there are so many. 

The price per unit simply allows you to compare it to other nearby sold properties. 

Certainly affordable compared to market rate, but still not quite affordable by federal/governmental standards.

A few weeks ago I went to a REI meetup but was kind of disappointed when I arrived and sat thru a presentation where they talked about financial freedom trading time for money then offered to sell me their education for $20k and from what I've seen that is pretty cheap compared to some others.

I would recommend you look at that as the prices compared to Austin will be much much less.Start with a duplex or single family, do that for a couple years and then go bigger.I have done all single family so far and will be doing that for another 2-3 years.

They can both be great paths to wealth over time but you are comparing apples to oranges .

The BIG difference is that Im a true novice compared to the time and effort of wall street investing.
