San Antonio Investments

[Shanair Mills]

I have read a few posts about investing in San Antonio.  I met up with a realtor who lives in the area, was shown a few homes. There are may new communities in the area, especially near 1604 and 90. 

Is it worth investing in the new builds? I notice DR. Horton and many other builders are building in San Antonio. Is it worth investing in the 78252 zip code? Trying to decide, the NW area seems strong but wondering about commute for renters.  

Any suggestions on zips to invest in? looking for buy and hold property - rentals.

@Shanair Mills We have had success renting houses in the area around 1604 and 90.  I haven't bought new for this purpose.  I look for an opportunity to create value by improving neglected properties that I can buy at a discount.  This is more difficult from a distance but not impossible.  Our houses inside and outside 1604 from 90 to Potranco have always had plenty of applicants.  We have great tenants.  Hope this helps a little.

Best of luck to you!
