@Jeff Howard We are not heavy in the San Antonio market and I haven't looked at many deals down there. For turnkey you will definitely fall under the 10% range. I have a child hood friend down there who is getting 10-15% all day BUT he is buying value add properties, remodeling them, and then renting them out.
Have you gentlemen heard of American Real Estate Investments? They are the best at what they do if you are looking for turnkey properties. They are in several markets but I know they are heavy in the DFW market

We are in Austin as well. As a matter of fact, Austin is our bread and butter. We just expanded into the Dallas market about 9 months ago.
That's a tough question.
For rentals, I'd have to say Arlington, Las Colinas, and Plano/Addison area

I would suggest checking out the San Antonio and Temple markets for Buy N Holds. These are the places you can get a 10-15% cap rate with decent tenants. Dallas & Austin markets cap rates can be between 4%-10%. Then you have other sub markets like Waco and Killeen but you have a much tougher time finding good tenants in those markets.

@Michael Reilly We were doing all of digital marketing in house but we just hired a Digital Marketing Manager that handles SEO, newsletters, and social media. Well worth the investment. We are still providing the content for the blogs and doing our You Tube videos but getting rid of the tedious stuff has helped us focus on the high pay off activities (mainly talking to more sellers)
And yes. Hosting a regular meet up has given us a good amount of clout in a short amount of time. Happy Hunting my friend.

We are too fresh in the business to say (Texas Market - Dallas & Austin). We did 28 last year just in Austin and are on pace to pass that but it certainly feels like we are putting forth much more effort. Here are some of the things we use to pull in deals:
- Direct Mail - old school letters in a traditional white envelope
- Direct mail - flyers
- Hand cards (used to target specific properties; small batch
- Social media (FB, Twitter, YouTube, Linkedin, Instagram)
- Facebook groups
- And just recently we've implemented SEO (it won't take effect for another 30-60 days)
- Host a monthly networking event
I hope this helps! If you see something that we could add or make better, feedback welcome. Thanks in advance.
