Hey Jeffrey! These are loaded questions but I can try to help here a bit. Feel free to DM to discuss further over the phone.

1. Are you looking to do short term or long term rent? As long as you pick the right areas in San Antonio, your rental will do well and your rents will continue to increase year over year.

2. Appreciation is the biggest reason I believe many investors are looking to invest here. Cash flow is great, but appreciation is where successful investors build their wealth.

3. Northwest SA, Far West, Near Military Bases, Near the Rim, or Downtown/Riverwalk/Pearl.

4. There are a plethora of good deals on the market right now. It's not difficult to find one, you just have to figure out what your strategy will be. Are you local? If not, finding a good realtor who invests as well.
