Frequently Asked Questions
What's the minimum investment to get started?
While it varies, many investors start with properties in the $200K-$350K range in growing suburbs like Hutto, Manor, or Kyle. With conventional financing, you may need 20-25% down for investment properties. I'll help you evaluate options within your budget.
Should I invest in Austin or the suburbs?
Both offer compelling opportunities. Austin proper provides higher rental rates and appreciation potential, while suburbs like Round Rock, Georgetown, and Cedar Park offer better cash flow with lower entry points. The right choice depends on your investment strategy and goals.
How do I evaluate a rental property's potential?
I analyze key metrics including cap rate, cash-on-cash return, gross rent multiplier, and projected appreciation. We also consider vacancy rates, maintenance costs, property management fees, and local rental comps to build a complete financial picture.
What about property management?
I can recommend reputable property management companies in Central Texas. Whether you self-manage or hire a PM company (typically 8-10% of rental income), we'll factor management costs into your investment analysis from the start.
Are 1031 exchanges worth considering?
1031 exchanges can be a powerful tool for deferring capital gains taxes when selling one investment property and purchasing another. While I'm not a tax advisor, I work closely with CPAs and can help coordinate the transaction timeline required for a successful exchange.
