New Investor from South Texas (San Antonio Area) Live in New Braunfels
Hey all,
My name is Leo and I moved to New Braunfels , TX a little over a year ago and got into real estate investing 5 months ago and have been networking and learning as much as I can while marketing for motivated sellers and looking for some deals. I joined BP to build my network and team up and hope to meet some great people on the site. Also the resources and information here is great and I wanted to get more involved with the site.
Hey Leo,
You definitely came to a great site to help you learn the ropes.
I've flipped and held several properties and work with a hard money lender regularly who has offered pretty solid rates thus far.
I used to live in San Antonio, but live in the Dallas Fort Worth area now. Both markets are about as good as it gets for what we're trying to do. Let me know if you ever wanna chat more about the business and I'll message you my #. Love sharing anything I've been fortunate to have learned about investment real estate.

Hey Andrew,
Thanks for the reply! Yeah I would love to chat some time, I could use all the help I can get :) New Braunfels is a tough market right now for starting investors, Its a war zone out there with bidding wars going on all the time so Ive been trying to find deals out in the surrounding areas like Seguin for wholesale opportunities to start building some capital that I can use for more leverage to buy more properties. I would love to hear how your deals have gone and the best ways you have found to use hard money and would appreciate any advice you have for a starting investor. :)
Thanks again,
-Leo
welcome! I am in San Antonio. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions about SA. I am working on acquiring my third rental so am a bit of a newbie myself but this is a great place to learn. Good luck!
Welcome, @Leo Parker . Maybe we'll cross paths someday soon.
Welcome Leo,
You've come to the right place. I am in the Dallas-Fort Worth area but love visiting the San Antonio area.
Gods luck!
Welcome Leo - my hubby is from San Antonio, his mother and younger sister still live there and the older sister is in Fischer . . . after moving there from Seguin (teaches at U of T San Marcos).
Love the Schlliterbaun!! (I'm sure I butchered the spelling on that!)
You will learn a lot through the BP Nation.
@Leo Parker Hi Leo, I have a investment house in New Braunfels and mostly in San Antonio. Connect with me and i can give you advise that i can about the area and markets.

Hey Andrew,
I just posted my BP intro as well and, even though a couple of months old, it had your intro post from September. Congrats on moving into the San Antonio market. I think we are mirrored in networking goals in SA so I just wanted to reach out and introduce myself.
Thanks,
Brad
Hi Leo,
Are you still active in San Antonio? I know this is an old thread. thx --Gene
There are a bunch of us in San Antonio. @Gene Livingston did you have a question about San Antonio?? I rehab, wholesale and have a few rentals here if you needed to know something specific about SA. Call me if you need something.
I am in the SA market, so was wondering who else is here :-) Always interested in wholesales and rentals.
Hey Leo! I have an investment property in New Braunfels and more in San Antonio. Great market to invest in! The I-35 corridor is great I would also pay a lot of attention to San Marcos / Kyle / Buda in neighboring Hays County and I think Seguin and Northeast San Antonio are great too. Good luck!

@Gonz Trevino is giving good pointers, definitely do your research and go to local REIA meetings to ask face to face questions to successful investors in your area
@Gene Livingston Hey Gene sorry I haven't gotten back to you until now. I have not checked my account for a while. Yes I am still active in San Antonio and New Braunfels. I have one property now and am looking for another one. around 100k purchase and 30K or less rehab. I am also looking for buy and hold properties as well.
Love me some New Braunfels!

@Leo ParkerSan Antonio is the best market! Why because of all the hospitals and nursing home. We are flooded by nurses all over the world. I work in a hospital and we have a lot of people from different places. I scout if you need one and I ask 200-500 scouting fee❤️
Welcome. I live in New Braunfels if you ever need to connect.
@Leo Parker Welcome to New Braunfels! I’ve lived here my whole life and have watched the city double in size in the last 15-20 years. There’s plenty of competition, but keep in mind that a lot of investors from SA do not want to flip here due to the city regulations/permitting, which can be quite a pain. However once you have figured it out, you will have a leg up on an out of town investor.
