I agree that appreciation should be icing on the cake.  I always seem to forget that though!  I haven't bought my first property yet (I'll start shopping in February) but today I started talking to my realtors about it to feel out which ones I want to include in my venture.  I'm a mortgage loan officer so I have quite a selection to pick from!  I'm no good at the whole "knowing your market" thing.  I've lived in SA for almost a decade but spent most of it chained to various desks  :/  I just know that if I bring one or two of my realtors in on it that I'm going to get off to a much better start.  I'm not entirely sure how gentrification works so I really appreciate the insight from y'all!

@Kyle M.

THATS FANTASTIC!!!! Great job and your rehab looks good!

@Rick Pozos

Thanks that makes a lot of sense! I appreciate your insight :)

The Camelot area in San Antonio has historically been a high crime area covered in huge piles of trash. However, I have been seeing quite a bit in the news about the area being gentrified recently.

I am a newbie so I would like to get the opinion of more seasoned BP peeps with a better understanding of the market.

I’m wondering if it might be a good idea to get In while prices are low and homeowners are motivated. Does anyone think that a buy and hold investment in this area would pay off in the coming years? Or just be a huge headache?

Thanks in advance for your input!

Hey thanks! That helps a lot! Are title companies able to do a search on the liens for a fee?

I have a question regarding Texas tax deed sales. I’ve heard that if you’re not careful you can end up responsible for any other lines against the property. How does one go about avoiding that? There’s only so much information on public record and I’d hate to get stuck with someone else’s mortgage or something.
