Hey Y'all,

We will be hosting our last MeetUp of the year Wednesday 11/10/21, 6pm-8pm @ Joey's (2417 N St Mary's St, San Antonio, TX 78212). So if you're an investor, agent, contractor, lender, or just interested in learning more about real estate investing, please join us. This will be a casual happy hour style event. All are welcome. There is no cost to attend.

We hope to see you there.

@Boyd McClean  Reach out to David Moore with Texas Title Assurance.  He's their director of Business Development and is always willing to work with investors.  BP rules won't allow me to post his contact info, but if you DM me, I will send it to you.

Thanks for the mention @Rick Pozos.

@DaMare-A Smith We are hosting an REI MeetUp this Wednesday 8/4, 6pm - 8pm @ Joey's on N. St, Marys. Details are in the Events Forum. Here's the Link: https://www.biggerpockets.com/...

Tobin Hill is a great area.  It's actually where my office is located.  I have lived in and owned property in Tobin Hill over the last 9.5 years.  I currently live in an adjacent neighborhood.  

Pros for the area:  Location & proximity to Downtown, the Pearl, Brackenridge Park, the Museum Reach, 7 mins to the airport, and walkable to San Antonio Community College.  There are also plenty of great bars, restaurants, and shops in the area. There is a good sense of community and a strong neighborhood association.  The area will continue to appreciate.

Cons for the area:  Property taxes keep going up. If your property is too close to N. St, Mary's strip you will likely have parking issues, noise issues, and late night meanderers.  Recently there have been some issues with drunk driving (primarily on The Strip).  There has been a slight uptick in the homeless population since the pandemic started, but they are usually pretty harmless.  Reading on Nextdoor app, it seems that most complaints are about the noise and property crime. 

Hope this helps.  DM if you have specific questions.

@Jordan White It's also smart to require your tenants to carry their owner "renter's insurance."

Shoot me a PM, I am happy to help.  I am Broker/Owner, Investor, & Homebuilder.

Not sure WalletHub is a beacon of empirical research. 

@Lili Rocha

I'll preface this by stating I am a Broker and own/run a Brokerage.

Sounds like you're looking to "hang your license" somewhere.  These types of brokerages usually operate with either a monthly/annual fee(s) or they offer flat fee commission splits (i.e.$500 per transaction split to Broker).  The caveat being these types of brokerages off little-to-no support for their agents (regardless of what their website says).  I held my license at a similar brokerage for a couple years before I started my own.  I only ever met the Broker in person once, by happenstance in an airport in California.

Before you agree to sponsorship, I would definitely make sure you will be getting the level of support you want & need. 

@Lili Rocha

What do you plan to use your license for? Listing your own properties?  Working with investor clients?  Working with retail clients?  Or a combination?

Are you look for a brokerage to "hang your license" or a brokerage that has support, training, bricks & mortar office? 
Texas Broker Sponsor is definitely a "ghost broker" "hang your license" type of brokerage.  Which works well if you already have realtor experience, are self-motivated, can be source your own leads & clients, and generally have a good knowledge of how residential real estate works in San Antonio.  If the above doesn't describe you, you'll likely want to look for a brokerage with more support and training.  

Best of luck in your search.
