Hey Shiwei, Are you local? 

There are definitely great opportunities for STR/MTR. The city is so spread out that you can do well in multiple locations. I like Northwest side, the Rim, by the military bases, or even out west toward sea world. Many people love downtown by the riverwalk/pearl, but I haven't seen recent data of how they are performing.

Advantages - they don't check DTI and most times won't check credit score. Loan approval is mostly based on projected rental income, similar to commercial properties.

Disadvantages - higher interest rates and can be a riskier investment. Also down payment required may be higher based off experience. Closing timeline can be a little longer 45-60 days out as well.

Yes I get many of these calls too, but I also have a lot of investors that are willing to put the work in and just need some guidance. I try not to get frustrated or upset, and just try to set boundaries and let them know I won't do the work for them.

Yes, Texas has higher property taxes than most states. But you're on the right track looking to invest in SA. You can find many single family homes with early opportunities to cash flow and appreciate at the same time. Also just remember, a great investment doesn't have to be a home run in year 1. Sometimes it takes a little while.

Quote from @Alyson Gordon:

I live in Raleigh and have a close friend who is an active investor in San Antonio, TX. The purchase price of SFH seem to be a lot lower in San Antonion than they are in the Triangle area. I think it would be worth exploring that market as your money likely can go further. The Triangle is a great area bu tin high demand with a lot of people relocating here so you'll have a lot of competition with home owners and investors alike. Just another perspective :)


Alyson you are absolutely correct and I agree with you :)
