@Trevor Candice the plan they you are thinking about is a good one. Live in one unit and rent out the rest. There are several multi family properties throughout San Antonio.  A duplex up to a four plex would be the best option. Let me know if you have any further questions.

Evan,  I agree with Daniel.  The West and North West is pricey and competitive (mostly all San Antonio).  I also agree about your own backyard for deals.  But there are three bases in San Antonio, buying close to those areas should work well for you.  

Have you asked your realtor about property managers? I would start there to see who they work with.  There are several good ones, just interview at least 3 and see who fits what you are trying to do.

Trying to BRRRR is a challenge in this market. Off market may provide more options. Even then it will be tough! Just getting a good property in a good location is key as the market will continue tick up!

I just helped an investor buy a rent ready property, only a few years old and had a little equity when they bought it. I sent you a message with my contact info. 

 I am interested! Looking in New Braunfels or anywhere in that area. From my due diligence, it looks like rental market rate is around 1700-1800 is that accurate? And with increasing home values, I suspect rent rates to follow thereafter. Thanks!

@Ryan Estes it all depends on the type of home you are looking for and the amount of rent you will receive. A lot goes into it such as location and size.

Sarah,

Properties don't usually dissappear overnight. There could be several reasons they were not there the next day.  Without addresses, it is hard to say what happened. 

If you are looking for multi-family, I know of some new construction being built on the Eastside of San Antonio. 

Thanks,

Shaun Witcher

@araceli

Welcome, I would say in the San Antonio market it is really competitive.  There is a lot of demand and the market is a seller's market.  Also, a lower price is not always the best option.  Paying a little more to get a better quality home, area, and attracting a better quality tenant will help you out greatly.  Understand the area you want to invest in and what is your ultimate goal will help you develop a solid strategy.  There looks to be no slowing down here! Let me know if you have any specific questions.  I hope this helps!

The county websites are pretty accurate.  If Bexar County it is bcad.org.

No one can 100% accurately predict the future.  I can tell you that the San Antonio market has not slowed down.  You have to do your own due diligence and determine what is a good choice or not for you.  But if you buy the right way you should be good.
