Suggestions for Owner Occupied Duplex in Austin Texas

[Taylor Null]

Hello! I have been fortunate enough to move to Austin in the past year and have been passively looking for duplex opportunities in the area. If you all had a 300-400k budget what neighborhood would you recommend focusing on? Or maybe would you look outside of Austin?

I plan on being at the property for a maximum of two years and then renting out both sides of the duplex. Then off to another investment (:

I would purchase a duplex around Quail Creek - just east of the Domain.  Another option would be the Anderson Mill area!  Good luck in your search - feel free to reach out if you want to discuss more or talk through your options.  We have a couple duplexes in Austin and they have done very well.  I also helped my sister purchase one a few years ago and she did exactly what you are planning to do - lived there a few years and then purchased another.
