Canadian Investor - Analyzing San Antonio

[CO Yilmaz]

Hi BP

I was wondering if anybody had some insights in the San Antonio market. I'm from Toronto, Canada and I am new to the Bigger Pocket platform. I am still in the learning phase where I'm listening to podcast and reading books.

I have started to analyze the San Antonio market and I have a couple of questions.

I was looking at zipcode 78244 and noticed that the homes were ranging between 120K to 249K while rents had a median value of 1400 to 1600 for a three bedroom home. I used Trulia to look at the crime map of that area and it's low. However when I looked at the schools assigned to the houses in the area, it wasn't great. Those schools had ratings of 3/10 to 4/10.

My question is, does anyone know if this area has something of value to a renter since the rental price of 1400 to 1500 a month is comparable to other zip codes in San Antonio that have better schools.

Cheers,

Can Yilmaz
