Seeing Potential In San Antonio

I saw this property on craigslist: https://sanantonio.craigslist.org/reo/5774886983.h...

The kitchen is very worn and doesn't look leveled. The bedrooms will definitely need new carpet and it seems like the whole house needs paint. The bathroom looks great in my opinion. The Crime Rate has a D areavibes which makes me a bit hesitant, especially since it seems to be higher with property crimes. I like the price but I'm wondering if I'm letting that sway my judgement. What do you all think?

The Pecan Valley area is good for rentals. I wouldn't be too hung up on the crime rating. I spent 17 years as a police officer here in San Antonio and there are worse places in town. I would say go for it.

Best of luck.
