San Antonio far-west side

[Deepak Vijayan]

Hello SA folks. I'm trying to buy an LTR buy and hold SFH property on the far-west side. 5-6 miles west of Alamo Ranch. Upon some analysis with some local friends found that is a desirable area. Can you give some pointers on the area(property appreciation), should competitive rates be rented out sooner? How is the rental market in general at SA? Thanks in advance!

Hey Deepak,

The rental market in SA is solid. As SA continues to grow so will the appreciation of homes as well. Alamo Ranch is a really nice neighborhood. You would have to be a bit more specific on what you are trying to accomplish with your long term or is your main play appreciation. If you are working with an agent then they should be able to better help you and if not I'm an agent who could help with specifics. The main things of not being local is finding a good property manager that handles the day to day and maintenance but most of all screening of potential tenants. Good luck and welcome to investing in SA.
