Ideas for real estate investing around Austin

[Zara Fourmault]

Hi, I live in Austin and I am looking for real estate investing ideas. Short term or long term are both fine. What are you investing in and where? Are properties cash flowing from the start? Ideas welcome

Zara, you may want to start by joining a local REIA in Austin. It is one of the best ways to meet active investors, learn what strategies are working in your market and find potential deals. Many investors today are focusing on long-term rentals, small multifamily and value-add properties where they can force appreciation. In many markets, true cash flow from day one is harder to find, so networking locally can help you identify better opportunities.
