I have/do rent to two tenants who have had criminal backgrounds.First tenant was in a transition program for an extensive period of time (years); had a job working in maintenance at a local hotel which he faithfully rode his bike to (a distance of a good number of miles) because, of course, he was not allowed a car.  

@Brendan McElhaneyI heavily considered Milwaukee since I'm local.

Write it up as a personal letter.When you do all that, then contact a local RE Agent to give you a list of all the houses in that neighborhood that have sold in the last 5 years with all cash.

There is a local real estate investors group called PREIA. 

You can read free wholesaling guide on BP.Attend local REIs and get connected to other wholesalers, cash buyers and lenders.

I've heard Brad on several podcasts and he's always informative (he does not attend local Meetup). 

I travel a lot for work and haven't gotten the opportunity yet to go to the local REI meetups. 

A local investor is selling his 8 unit complex that he has had for over a decade.

Finally, $334/mo seems like a pretty reasonable HOA fee in my experience here locally.

He is a local guy, and doubt whether he has connections in San Antonio.
