Agreed, SA is a great place to invest.  One caveat: make sure you're working with a reputable company who's been around for a while.  There are a lot of people out there who will simply help you buy a property and walk away.  Not every property makes a great rental.  I can't tell you how many times I've talked to someone about property management and they learn that the market rent for their newly-purchased investment property is lower than the note payment.  Go with a company & agent who knows this market.

Any questions, consult with a property management company before getting too far in the process.

We manage quite a few properties in the Selma/Schertz/Cibolo area.  Rents are generally pretty good and market times are quite reasonable.  As long as the house is in good shape and has great curb appeal, that area works.

I'm with the Pyramis Company in San Antonio and I'd be more than happy to discuss a BP rate with those interested. We've been around since 1985 and love working with investors. We only manage a few hundred properties, not the 800+ many others do. Look us up and give me a call sometime.
