I just acquired a new rental on the East Side (San Antonio) that sits on a double lot with the back side totally unused. I'm exploring options of building a new 3-2 on the lot as a new rental. Does anyone have experience with 1000sf (or so) new construction on this part of town? Can you recommend a solid contractor for the job?

Thanks all in advance. 

Good suggestion Enrique, thanks!

Thanks all for the warm welcome!

Last year I bought a SFH at auction that was on a large 0.75 acre lot. The house effectively only uses a third of the lot, leaving what looks like a vacant lot adjacent to the residence. I'm renting out the renovated home and have put up a privacy fence that defines the yard, leaving a well defined adjacent lot. I looked into replatting so I could sell off the 'lot' but learned that the replatting process could cost me $10-20k. What are my options for this extra land and what would cost/benefit be for each?

It costs money to mow periodically and is a liability having a vacant lot. Looking for ways to monetize. Its in an up and coming area of San Antonio. 

Hi all. I’m an investor in the San Antonio market. Glad to be on this platform and look forward to learning from all of your experiences.
