Austin/San Antonio Newbie Investor Seeks Rental Property & Team

[Abhishek Agrawal]

Hello BP Community,

I'm Abhi, a newbie investor eager to dive into the exciting world of real estate! My sights are set on acquiring my first rental property in the Austin/San Antonio area, aiming for cash flow and a 7-10% yield on my down payment.

Here is my initial plan based on the learnings I have done so far:

• Property Type: Single Family/Condo/Apartment also open for other suggestions
• Strategy: MTR/LTR 
• Budget: $300k - $400k
• Credit Score: ~750
• Down Payment: 15-20%

Where I need help of this awesome BP community:

• Guidance & insights: 
• I'm open to any advice and tips from seasoned investors and experts in the Austin/San Antonio market.
• Experienced team: 
• I'm actively seeking investor-friendly professionals, including lenders, agents, property managers, tax experts, inspectors, and lawyers. Ideally, I'd find a team willing to not only help me find the perfect property but also mentor me during my real estate journey.

If you have:

• Any recommendations for lenders, agents, property managers, etc. in the Austin/San Antonio area who specialize in working with new investors
• Valuable insights or advice for navigating the market as a newbie
• Experience you're willing to share (success stories, lessons learned, things to avoid)

Please don't hesitate to reach out! I'm eager to learn, connect, and build a strong foundation for my real estate future.

Sincerely,

Abhi
