If you're looking to invest outside of Austin, I personally love the Round Rock - Leander - Pflugerville area.

If you're planning to sub out any work when flipping, you need to become very familiar with Chapter 53 of the Texas Property Code and have an attorney drafted, rock solid remodeling contract.

Note that if rented to a family I could possibly rent for double the mortgage as we stole the house in a relatively popular area.

Something interesting to think about is that we may also see price declines in some of the higher priced markets (San Jose, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, Mountain View, etc) as a result of employees leaving the area in light of the potential popularity of work from home.

@Tyler OwenPodio is the most popular for wholesaling.

I'm focusing on the Littleton / Centennial area and down into Castle Rock.

It seems like a lot of people have covered almost everything here, but I think that anytime you base your real estate investing career on things that you're banking on in the future, it is impossible to create a rock solid strategy.

Indy is very popular around here.

A good wholesaler is a rock star that can do a ton of things well.

Surface- Rock or hard surface (concrete/asphalt);If on rock/asphalt put your tongue leg or stabilizer pads on widerpads to spread the weight out.
