Alex,
You really have a lot of options within San Antonio, it’s an urban sprawl with major employers spread throughout the MSA. What type of property are you looking for (single or MF) and what is some of your other criteria? With that, we can better focus in on area’s that would work best for you.
Many of my investor clients look to purchase in the Northwest by UTSA, Six flags, Seaworld, etc., or just north of Loop 410 in general. It is a good "cookie-cutter" area to rent houses that are somewhat newer, but the competition to pick a house up is very high in the area and often overpriced. Still deals to be had though. The downtown area is really picking up, with tons of new development and people moving to the area. Purchase prices are typically cheaper DT as well. With that, they also typically need more rehab.
