If you are planning a move to the area, you’ll have no problem finding other transplants to explore the city with.Austin’s economic scores are well-rounded across the board, but the metro particularly stands out when it comes to the high density of college-educated adults (43 percent) and high share of recent college graduates working in remote-friendly occupations (77 percent).

Hi my names Brandon and i’m new to real estate investing. i’m a full time plumbers apprentice and i currently live rent free at my parents so i’m beginning to save up some money. this idea of house hacking has been very intriguing to me, but the resources and my connections are just not there. also since fairfield county is so expensive, it is very scary for me to take that BIG STEP. any recommendations or lessons from when you guys started would be awesome!

I'm not sure if I will find a deal in NYC that will cashflow and allow me to live rent free.

I have been actively searching for an investment property since December while specifically looking for at least a 3 family so I can have sufficient rental income to live rent free so I can maximize the use of my own money to renovate the property and get the most for rent for that area.

I am a transplant to the area that fell in love and decided to stay! 

In one of my real estate classes, I had a California Toyota transplant that moved here as part of the first wave. 

I like the idea that I could potentialy live rent free with a properly rented out duplex.

Ideally, the rents from these other units should cover all of your expenses and you can maybe live rent free and also cash flow.

HI @Darren HorrocksI don't have any interests over there, but welcome to SoCal from another transplant.  

I saw a demo of LiveRes and Guesty and both seemed pretty good- with Guesty being cheaper at 3% and no fees, but would like to explore other options as well.
