Windsor Park or Pecan Springs-Springdale area has homes that size in that price range, many of which are completely renovated. Both are great neighborhoods with 183 or I-35 access. Schools aren't great, but hoping they improve over time.

We moved to Highland and love it. Should work within your budget.

Check out University Hills! You can find homes in this price point, you’ll still be able to get to Mueller quickly, and you can decide if you’d like a property that’s already renovated or priced lower and ready for you to customize. (We have programs to roll in renovation budgets into the purchase, too.) I’m happy to connect you with some great agents if you’d like. (I’ve been a lender here for 7+ years and arrived to Austin a decade ago).

Hi everyone! I’m a young professional right out of college getting into investing and personal finance management.

Can someone recommend some recourses (books, podcasts, experts to follow, etc.) where it’s clearly explained for beginners? Trying to make sense of 401Ks, Roth IRAs, emergency funds etc.

My fiancé and I are first time home buyers (both 28 yo) and would like to know what makes more sense: buying an expensive home or buying a lower cost one. Our combined income is around 400K but since we just began working post school, our savings are only $70K right now (also 30K in student loan debt). We’re buying in a high property tax state where taxes could be 4% (think 12K taxes on 600K home). Should we get a 500K house or get a 800K - 900K (which represents most I’m willing to spend)
