Southwest San Antonio - thoughts?

[John T.]

I'm based in NYC with some family in San Antonio. I recently closed on a SFH near Leon Valley and on my visit met up with a couple real estate agents who are gearing me toward Northwest. It looks like a wonderful place to live or have high quality tenants. But buy-and-hold opportunity seems limited; low cap rates and deals closing above asking. I'm drawn to southwest near Lackland.

What's been your experience in this area?

@John T. If you don't go too far south of Highway 90, the neighborhoods are fairly similar to Leon Valley, just with a higher concentration of rentals and more 20 year old subdivisions. If you are searching for the 1% rule on a buy-and-hold, that's where you're going to find it
