Hi everyone! I’m based in San Antonio and getting started with real estate wholesaling. I’m learning how to evaluate properties, estimate repairs, and understand Texas purchase and assignment agreements.
I’d like to connect with experienced local investors and learn what makes a property worth pursuing. What neighborhoods, price ranges, and repair levels do you focus on?
I don’t currently have a property under contract. I’m here to learn the process and build relationships. Thanks for any advice!

@Terrance Rodgers, I can’t speak to which San Antonio neighborhoods or price ranges you should target, but I do think you’re doing yourself a favor by learning the agreement side before you have your first property under contract. Knowing how to find a deal is important, but so is understanding exactly what you’re signing, your deadlines, your obligations, and what happens if the deal does not move forward as expected.
I’m a real estate attorney and investor, and I’ve seen newer investors focus heavily on the property and the numbers while treating the contract as something they’ll figure out later. That can create problems when title issues come up, a deadline is missed, or the investor realizes the agreement does not work the way they expected. Since you’re investing in Texas, I’d also make sure you learn the local requirements from professionals who work in your market.
I like that you’re taking the time to learn before rushing to put something under contract, @Terrance Rodgers. Contracts and real estate transactions are a big part of my work, so this is an area I pay close attention to with investors. Happy to stay connected as you get started.

@Terrance Rodgers Welcome! Wholesaling is a great way to learn the market and build relationships. One thing worth understanding early is how financing can impact your numbers and your end buyer. If you ever want to discuss lending options or what investors typically look for when evaluating a deal, feel free to reach out. Happy to connect!
