Hello Investors,

I’m curious to hear from renters in San Antonio about your experiences navigating rental restrictions and HOA regulations.

Have you encountered any strict HOA rules that made renting challenging? Were there any unexpected setbacks or obstacles that took time to work through?

I’d love to get a better understanding of what renters have faced in the area and how these factors have impacted your overall experience.

I'd really appreciate the feedback!

Hey Fajer,

Buying a new-build SFH in San Antonio with an HOA comes with both advantages and challenges.

On the plus side, you'll have low maintenance, fewer repairs, well-kept curb appeal thanks to the HOA, and strong rental demand driven by job growth.

However, HOA fees could impact your profits, restrictions may apply, and appreciation might be slower compared to established neighborhoods.

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share some insights on the San Antonio real estate market. One of my investors asked for a rundown of the market and I was able to come up with this data. Here’s what I’ve pulled together based on the latest data in San Antonio.

Home Prices

Recent data indicates that the median list price for homes in San Antonio is approximately $476,000, with properties typically remaining on the market for an average of 86 days. This suggests a moderately paced market, offering opportunities for both buyers and sellers.

Sales Activity

Recent data indicates a decline in home prices within the San Antonio area. The median home price has decreased by 6%, and the average price has seen a 4.5% reduction. Despite these price declines, the market remains active, with a 17.2% increase in home sales compared to the previous year.

Why San Antonio Stays Strong

San Antonio’s economic backbone is a huge selling point I always highlight to my investors. With industries like healthcare, bioscience, tourism, military, cybersecurity, and major companies like Joint Base San Antonio, USAA, and H-E-B. The job market stays steady, that stability fuels consistent housing demand, making it a reliable spot for investment properties.

Final Thoughts

San Antonio's market is transitioning into a more balanced phase, with lower prices benefiting buyers while sellers needing to adjust expectations. With increasing inventory and favorable mortgage rates, it's a great time for buyers to explore options, while sellers should be strategic in pricing and marketing their homes.

Great, thanks for all the details! I will definitely keep this in mind for the future!

I'd like to gain a deeper understanding into the key factors investors consider before committing to an investment property. I understand that some investors take a more conservative approach than others. What criteria do you use to determine whether a deal is worth pursuing?

There are plenty of ways to find deals, but getting your name out there is the most important.

Connecting with realtors and wholesalers in your area is key.

Start building a social media presence and join groups that align with your goals.

The more people reach out to you with deals, the less time you’ll spend chasing them down.

Although I am very young, I am working towards building capital to buy my first investment property. Having wholesaled numerous investment properties to my investors, i've received varied advice from all of them. What exit strategy would you recommend for a First-time investor?
