The case

Austin's elite address - top-rated Eanes schools, luxury homes, and affluent tech-executive tenants. The most durable values in the metro and a true preservation hold.

Risks

The highest entry and lowest yields anywhere in Texas; carry is typically negative with leverage. Property taxes (~1.8-2.2%) compound the cost. Pure appreciation. Austin is down ~24% from its 2022 peak and now in a post-correction plateau - underwrite for flat-to-modest near-term appreciation, plus high Travis County property taxes and rising Texas insurance.

Best for

High-capital appreciation buyers who prioritize prestige, top schools, and capital preservation over any cash flow.
