Questions about owning/operating an STR in San Antonio

[Christopher Oliva]

Hi Everyone,

I'm going to be buying a house off of 410 near the Airport, my plan is to turn it into an STR. I have an LTR but this will be my first STR, so I'm not well versed on the ins & outs of what I should be aware of for these types of rentals.

The house is in a nice neighborhood and there's no HOA restrictions to worry about. I've started to do some research and I know about the HOT and the STR permit, but aside from that are there any other city ordinances/requirements I should be aware of?

Also, any other general advice about owning/operating an STR in San Antonio would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks!

The first step would be looking at the one stop map and seeing if there are any STRs on your block and if the density allows for it.  

The STR ordinance outlines the density restrictions
