Breaking into expensive Austin market

[Reno Ancheta]

Hello all,

I’m looking to buy my first home in Austin TX, the prices of homes anywhere within 20 minutes of downtown are $300k plus for basic single family homes. It seems to me that based off the home price , it would be hard to make a profit from renting the home since its so far from the city.

What strategies have y’all used to successfully profit in an expensive sellers market?

@Reno Ancheta I'm doing rehabs on multi unit properties to get the rents up personally. I bought one for $341k that will rent for $4000 gross after rehab
