Rental Real Estate in San Antonio TX

[Christina Larios]

Hello Everyone, 

I am a super novice in the real estate market; I am moving to San Antonio TX sometime in July and plan to purchase a home that I will eventually rent out. Any suggestions on the areas to look into? 

When I was there, I couldn't really tell which area is best compared to what- and considering I've been in California most of my life, I really didn't know how to rate the areas properly. 

 I'd like to purchase a property that will bring in some cash flow. How is the rental property in San Antonio? Which areas to check out and avoid? My budget is less than 200,000(like I said, novice). 

Also, why is there a good amount of inventory in SA? what does that indicate? Is San Antonio a good place to invest or should I reconsider?

I'm just starting out this real estate venture - and any help would be greatly appreciated! 

Thank you!
