First Deal - Investing in St. Johns area

Andres Ayala

Posted

This would be my first time investing in real estate and am very excited to get the ball rolling! I would like to ask anyone for their advice/experience investing in the St. Johns area. I drove that area about two years ago and did not feel very safe while doing so. I am noticing A LOT of new construction homes in the area and I am guessing that there is some Gentrification happening in that area. Anyone in Austin that knows or is aware on the appreciation or gentrification of that area? Should I consider investing in this area since it is very close to Crestview/Highland area which has just about exploded in the past couple of years, I believe this area is changing and was going to ask for some advice. If anyone has any please let me know, any help is greatly appreciated!

These are full cosmetic rehabs. We do not go down to the studs, but do replace all the cabinetry, flooring, and what not. Around $50 - $60K for all 4 units. Rents are $1200 for 2/1.
