Investing in Austin

Austin is not just the capital of Texas. The city is a high-tech mecca that many Fortune 500 companies call home.  Austin is also the home of America’s largest university.  We are a city of beautiful music, beautiful lakes and beautiful beauty.

Opportunities in Austin abound for those that want to live or invest here.  Compared to other national markets, real estate in Austin is undervalued.  Additionally, in less than 25 years, Austin’s population is expected to grow by one million people!

This is very good news to the real estate investor when coupled with the fact that most Austin households lease.  The reason why most Austinites lease their homes is varied but partly, it is due to the fact that Austin’s young and unique workforce wants more housing fluidity than home ownership can offer.

Recent changes in the mortgage industry mean that some Austinites no longer qualify to buy a home and must continue to rent.  Needless to say, the demand for rent is increasing rapidly while the supply is shrinking.

Most investor clients of mine choose duplexes.  For investments, there is no comparison between duplexes and single family homes.  A duplex generates more cash, offers better vacancy protection and has similar appreciation rates than a single family house. 

Why Duplexes

• More Secure Vacancy Protection 
  
• More Potential Renters 
  
• Conventional Lending Accepted
  
• They Appreciate!

Lets Live in a Duplex

Living in your duplex is a fantastic way to drastically reduce your living costs by having a tenant live next door.  Along with the benefits of lower mortgage rates, you might qualify for homestead exemptions, tax depreciation and much more.
