Im going to take a trip in July and scope out some areas, any recommendation on certain areas I should be on the look out for? I would love to get a local's opinion about the area.

Hi BP community, I’m a new investor and I am interested in buying property and relocating to San Antonio, Texas. I am researching what community I want to live in, but I am looking to buy 2-4 unit property to house hack. I am planning a trip in July to see If like the area, if there is any real estate agent or investor in Texas that would love to discuss the market or what I should be aware of, I’m all ears. Super excited to start my real estate portfolio, won’t be easy but I’ll be worth it!

Hi Jhenyn,
I think you are making a great choice looking to invest in the San Antonio market. We have seen a ton of growth and the rental market continues to raise while appreciation does the same. San Antonio is the fastest growing city in the nation and I don’t see that slowing down anytime soon. I’m an investor myself and own 20 units throughout SA and I’m also a licensed agent that just does smaller multifamily so please let me know if you need any advice on neighborhoods or if I can be of any assistance. Thanks and good luck on your journey.

Hi Loren,

Thank you for responding back to the email. Thats awesome on how you have 20 units, thats the goal at the end of the day. I currently have trouble analyzing deals, but i guess that comes with repetition on how many deals you analyze daily. But i would love to get your help with muti-family near colleges, hospitals, or near downtown. Also, if im still looking does it make sense to speak to a lender? I appreciate any advice, thank you Loren!

Quote from @Joseph Cacciapaglia:

One thing to look out for: We tend to get a lot of "multifamily properties" that aren't legal multifamily properties. They get listed on the MLS, and new investors and/or out of state investors often get duped into buying them. Do not take listing info at face value and always check the zoning and that the additional units were added legally. There are plenty of other issues to look out for here, but this is one of the most common ones I've seen new investors run into here.

Hey Joseph,

Thank you for bringing that up, thats unfortunate that happens but ill keep a close eye when looking at property if its in the proper zone or if the ADU at legal. Thank you for the heads up!

As an Investor-Agent myself, I have had several conversations on this topic with my clients and customers. Everyone has different goals and investment criteria, so this is not a size fit all kind of situation.

I will suggest that you clearly define what you want and do some research then go from there.

A local Investor-Agent can help shorten your learning curve and save you a lot of headaches as they tend to understand the market better.

Hey Wale,
I would love to speak to you or some agent about San Antonio/Austin region. I know i want to do a 2-4 unit property and house hack one of the units for myself. I would love to be near colleges, hospitals, or near downtown location. Not to sure what else i need to keep in mind but i would love your help to avoid these headaches as much as possible. I am taking a trip in July and wanted to view property/areas for myself. Any suggestions?

Congrats on taking some action! San Antonio is a great market. I invest in an apartment complex in New Braunsfels. It's got a lot of good things going for it. If you haven't found an agent already, I have one I can refer you to. And if you're a type of person that likes working with data, feel free to dm me I have a great tool you can use for free. Good luck!

Hey Jonathan,

Thank you for responding to the email. Thats awesome, I seen New Brunsfels on the maps but not much popped up about it. Its a up and coming area? I plan on doing a trip in July and wanted to scope out the areas im interested in. But i would love to get in touch with your agent, anything helps! Thank you and I appreciate your time!
