Where should I look to buy in San Antonio?
I am a resident of Dallas, TX, interested in entering the San Antonio market. However, I am unfamiliar with the area. Could anybody provide me with suggestions for promising investment areas or any other advice?

What's wrong with Dallas?? Big city and you know the area. Stay where you have an advantage. I say this for your benefit. You know the good areas and bad ones in your area. It is too easy to get into the wrong property in an area that you know nothing about.
Too many people want to go out of city of state because they are chasing the 'better' returns. The unknown is a big factor that WILL cost you money in the long run. Invest where you are.
