Hi Alice!

Short-term rental investor since 2019 here (:

I 100% prefer homes that are not associated with an HOA. However, these homes can be harder to find, especially if you're looking for something newer or nicer.

I do have Airbnbs belonging to an HOA, but I just make sure there is no verbiage stating against short-term rentals, specifically under 30 days in the covenants, deeds, and restrictions documents of the HOA.

Usually, gated communities have HOAs with restrictions against STRs, but it never hurts to ask!

Hope this helps (:

Hi Noa!

LOVE YOUR NAME. I recently completed my first BRRR in downtown San Antonio. I made a lot of mistakes, but I have definitely learned a lot from them. Would love to share tips, so you don't make the same ones! Haha feel free to connect (:

Hi there! 

I am so sorry that happened to you!! Unfortunately, Tim said it best. Did you purchase a home warranty? You could see if your plan covers sewage line!

Hope this helps (:

Hi Jillian!

I have several Airbnbs in the city of San Antonio since 2019.

Paul said it quite accurately. The only input I would add is that you do not have to pay this HOT tax if a guest stays for 30 or more days! You would still need to report $0 though. 

Hope this helps (:

I agree with Bill! It's sad to think someone has been living there. As a fellow investor and  REALTOR® here in San Antonio, TX, I concur that the listing is nowhere near its market value. I hope that property gets taken care of, and the people living there are headed towards better times.
