Just as there is a diversity of opinion in this thread on good investment areas,  there are a variety of people who want to buy and rent in every area of town.  Deals like what you've been asking for can be found.  It just takes time, marketing, being connected, having financing in place to move quickly, and the decisiveness to jump in when you find them.  

I agree that coming here for a visit would help you understand the dynamics of San Antonio so that you can invest wisely for years to come.  If you need any help with specific properties, feel free to reach out. 

The good thing about Angie's list contractors is that they are vetted.  They should be licensed and bonded and guarantee their work, which gives some peace of mind when you're OOS.  They may be a little pricier than the "I know a guy" type subs, but you can just budget their cost into your rehab if that's the way you choose to go.

My brokerage keeps a list of great contractors for every kind of work.  If you trust your agent, ask them for recommendations. They should have a good network.  

If you haven't done so already, join a FB group that invests in the area.  Just like here on BP, local investors can be a great source of info, and possibly boots on the ground for you if needed. 

Hello Alex!

Congrats on deciding to invest, and buckle up for the ride! :)   I'm a realtor here in San Antonio. I work with investors, my brokerage is investor-friendly, and I'm also an investor as well, which you really want in a realtor or agent, no matter who you choose to work with.  Let's get together and see how I can help you build your business!

Serious high fives to you!! Thank you for that amazing and simple bit of genius you've shared. 

Welcome to BP, and now that you're way up there in Yankee-land (jk!!)  if you need boots on the ground to check on your deals back here in The Republic,  I'd be more than happy to be your girl. 

Best of luck on working out your plan for financial freedom.   There are hugely qualified people out there who will give you solid and professional advice... all I can add is to start with the number that you consider your freedom number, and work your way backwards from there until you have a plan for each and every day. 

I suppose anything is possible, but in order for technology to replace realtors, people will have to become 100% tech savvy, and that’s just not going to happen. This last weekend, a client was trying to do his financing application online and got stuck on one section. I was at their home two hours later with Pizza Hut, a six-pack of Coke, and my tablet, and helped him finish the process. Not sure that kind of personal attention will ever become obsolete. I’ve seen first-hand why agents have a bad name and why so many people try to avoid using their services. But please don’t throw the baby out with the bath water. When you have a truly great one, they really do put your interests before their own and are working hard for you in ways you may not realize. My brokerage for example operates on a “5-star +1” customer service model, and many of us invest and work with investors. These are some of the things we offer every client at no additional charge, whether it’s a multi-million dollar deal or a $40K rehab. — Professional photographer — Professional videographer — Full virtual tour, not just a slideshow — Drone service — Licensed professional transaction coordinators — In-house marketing department to assist the agent in maximizing the exposure of your property — Once a month (EVERY month) client appreciation gatherings at a local restaurant with free drinks and appetizers provided... just another way to say thank you for trusting us with your past, present, and future Real Estate needs — Syndication to well over 6,000 websites — Member of multiple MLS boards for extreme maximum visibility — Preferred vendors who offer discounts to ONLY Option One clients — Lifelong agent “Concierge Service” It’s almost like a game to us to constantly come up with ways to provide more value than we’re paid. And I know we’re not the only ones. Sure, all this stuff could be automated. But wouldn’t you like to be treated to lunch or invited to happy hour once in a while? ;)

Great opportunity for either SF rental or lease to small business.   The house a few doors down has converted to a restaurant.  Located in Boerne Stage area, which is poised for growth.  New roads going in, and lots of interest in that area.

Anyone want to add to their inventory?  I know of 2 mobiles sitting on land just outside of San Antonio that need to be sold.  They need some TLC so they'll be cheap.

Hey Colin! Thank you for your service and welcome to BP! I’ve been to that seminar, and it is designed to get your excitement level up and make you want to start doing it all today! At least that’s what it did for me.  :)   

There's a LOT to learn, and like the others have said.. read books, check out the forums, go to meet ups, and learn all you can. We have 2 REIAs here, SAREIA and Alamo REIA. If you'd like, message me and I'll introduce you to an amazing friend of mine who could talk with you about flipping and getting financially set up for success.

Escape city taxes and enjoy a picturesque country view overlooking Leon Creek with all the conveniences of city life nearby!   Just outside the city limits at Boerne Stage Road and I-10, this property is located in a highly desirable and quickly growing area.

Beautiful wrought iron and stone fencing with two gated entrances are a complement to the lovely Texas stone home and property. The two-bedroom, two-bath home boasts an open floor plan, large covered porch, detached 600 sq ft garage, 256 sq ft shop/office, and lush landscaping that's just waiting to be brought back to life. 

There is so much potential here! Keep it as a single family residence and rent it.  Your tenant will love tinkering in the shop, relaxing in their swing under the magnificent trees, or even raising some chickens in the spacious back yard.  Or rent out the residence and detached building as a combination home/business space.  Or, convert the entire property into a restaurant, shop, or office. 

The possibilities in this unique property are limited only by your imagination,  and you won't find many opportunities like this one, so act quickly and call today!
