Hello Everyone, 

I am a super novice in the real estate market; I am moving to San Antonio TX sometime in July and plan to purchase a home that I will eventually rent out. Any suggestions on the areas to look into? 

When I was there, I couldn't really tell which area is best compared to what- and considering I've been in California most of my life, I really didn't know how to rate the areas properly. 

 I'd like to purchase a property that will bring in some cash flow. How is the rental property in San Antonio? Which areas to check out and avoid? My budget is less than 200,000(like I said, novice). 

Also, why is there a good amount of inventory in SA? what does that indicate? Is San Antonio a good place to invest or should I reconsider?

I'm just starting out this real estate venture - and any help would be greatly appreciated! 

Thank you! 

Hello Everyone! thanks for taking time to read this.

I would like to put my current home as a vacation rental property; we plan on renting it out as often as possible, while living here(cleanup before the renters come and cleanup after) there is a booming market in my area. 

why? simply due to economic hardship(came from 2 incomes to 1... long story)  it might be a challenge but I am determined to make all the laborious part of this plan work.

so to start - do I want to form an LLC or an LLC S Corp? if so, should I lease the property to the LLC? what Vacation rental insurance would you recommend? especially since we plan on living there for most of the time, hoping to rent it at least once a month.

and other than getting vacation rental insurance, is there any other concerns I should look into? my worry is that the property has a pool and i worry about drowning or other worst case scenario.... 

I'm very new to the rental business- so please bear with me on this.

Thank you!
