My name is Ryan Kinyon, I'm from Red Bluff, CA - the far northern region.

My parents live on a small farm just outside this university town and have transformed it from a run-down place into a beautiful, organic veg-growing hub for community/regional events (weddings, reunions, etc.).

Do you know what specific areas in Austin you’re looking to invest in (zip codes, regions, etc.)?

Resale should be good as well due to the strong employment opportunity in DC.Sorry I can't give you a definitive answer on which area you should focus on...most submarkets in the DC region offer really strong appreciation and resale value.Good luck!

You might have more luck making the case that a community event done well can help bolster the neighborhood's reputation (and potentially home values) in the region.

They wholesale in your region and may be able to help you find a deal you can live-in-flip with an FHA loan.

I live in San Francisco Bay Area ,looking to invest out of region.

Recently moved to the Atlanta region and I am looking for a few recommendations for brokers with experience in VA lending.

There are plenty of managers out there that would be great to partner with and would do all the work for you.I would partner with a fund manager that:You can trust;That provides transparency;That also has equity in the same investment(s);That has a proven track record of performance;Can efficiently diversify your private commercial real estate allocation into different properties/regional markets to ultimately minimize your risk.The benefit of fund investing over taking part in deal-by-deal syndications is the ability to diversify across different properties and markets all within the same investment.

These days such moves are very wise.I've got a couple friends who are qualified but on the fence about buying a home and I keep trying to push them to buy something in the region, even if not absolutely ideal at least something with potential they can improve over time,  before they get priced out completely...If you have not already done so,  consider joining the local landlord/owners group  (RHA -- rental housing association).
