San Antonio Airbnb

[Jerry Sanders]

Good afternoon all, I had a couple questions on Airbnb in san Antonio. Is it more profitable than your standard rental? I know area has alot to do with it. And could you use the BRRRR strategy on this as well? Really just looking for some info on San Antonio specifically. I've found some info searching the forum. I was looking around downtown area...Denver heights, government hill, Tobin hill etc.... anyone have airbnb's in these area's with some input? Thank you.

I don't think we have any SA experts here on the STR forum but I could be wrong. You'll need to answer these questions yourself regardless of getting answers off of this forum or from anyone. Spend some time obsessing on Airbnb. Study the areas and study the properties you like. You can pretty quickly determine how much money hosts are making. Also call around and find an STR realtor in the area. If there isn't one it's likely not a lucrative venture.

As for Brrrr why do you mention this? Lack of start up cash? That's a whole other conversation. 

Also be very careful trying to STR inside the limits of a city. Generally this is frowned upon. Especially on this forum. They'll shut you down at some point.

I'd suggest starting with a LTR SFH especially if you have a lack of cash.
