I've been thinking and looking into moving out of CA for the obvious reason of high cost of living. When it comes to investing, the barrier of entry is also very high. 

So I'm thinking AUSTIN, TEXAS. Ive been reading into this city and the pros outweigh the cons for me.

I've decided to go there myself this August and experience it myself.

Anyone from the area have suggestions on parts of town I should look to purchase a home and also areas of great cash flow for rentals.

*The size of home you can get in Austin for the money compared to CA is just ridiculous.

@Michael Bangsal I love Austin and will probably move back soon.

Probably best to take a look at deals down there if you’re looking to invest. Most of the best cashflow properties are a little further out of the city too.

@Jordan Moorhead  

Do you have rental properties at Austin yourself?

If so, what are those cities 

@Michael Bangsal no I do not.  I'll buy something to live in here soon which I'll househack to offset the cost.

Look into SA, Killeen and other surrounding areas.

I have heard east of I35 is the next place being bought up. Older homes that people are renovating, much cheaper than west
