I live on the south side and have lived in Corpus for 10 years if you need any boots on the ground. I am new to real estate investing but have been listening to the podcast and studying the forum for a couple years while getting in position financially to make an investment. I’d be happy to help if you need anything.

Out on the island is good for short term rentals or renting to flight students. Lots of flight students coming through the base there for flight school staying 6-12 months looking to rent a place. Downtown and around crosstown are rough parts of town but prices are low. South side has lots of new builds and some good opportunities to get at or above the 1% rule.

@Sam DebThe Bay Area is booming right now, was just in a bidding war and with purchase price $50k over listing! But, like any other town, there are parts that aren't so hot like central city around where they are building the new Harbor bridge. That area is mostly industrial with older homes just a few blocks from refineries. Flour Bluff, which is a peninsula in Corpus Christi that you pass through on your way to Padre Island, is doing well as there are new builds going up with some waterfront facing Oso Creek. It all depends on what it is that you are looking to invest in, if you have any questions feel free to contact me!

To add to my last response, it will be most likely long term investment - buy and hold. And also plan to spend some time near the water in between rentals. Side by sidy can get the house fixed up after each rental etc.
