My biggest success so far has been helping my investors succeed—locating great deals for them and assisting in making profitable decisions.

Hey Jack!

In my experience, both three-bed, two-bath and four-bed, two-bath homes rent well in Northern San Antonio, especially near good schools. A four-bed might take slightly longer to rent since it appeals more to larger families, but with the right marketing, it shouldn’t be a major challenge—especially if the price difference is minimal and it still meets the 1% rule.

The extra square footage can help with long-term tenant retention, as larger families or those working from home often seek more space. It could also future-proof your investment, as demand for larger homes may continue growing. However, if you prefer quicker turnovers and a larger tenant pool, a three-bed might be the simpler choice.

Happy to chat more if you’d like—feel free to reach out!

Hey, that sounds like a solid deal—nice job negotiating it down! With those numbers, both wholesaling and flipping could be good options, depending on your goals.

If you're looking for a quicker return with less risk and effort, wholesaling might be the way to go, especially if you can find a buyer willing to pay a strong assignment fee. But if you're comfortable managing the rehab and have the capital or financing in place, flipping could bring a solid profit, especially with the low purchase price and strong ARV.

Are you leaning toward one option more than the other? Also, how's the investor demand in Fowler—have you seen much activity there?

Hey Robert, welcome to the community! It sounds like you have a great strategy in place and a strong foundation with your LLC and creative financing approach. The ABCs of Real Estate Investing and BRRRR are both great frameworks for building long-term wealth.

Are you currently focused on single-family or multifamily for your next deal? Looking forward to connecting and hearing more about your journey!

Hi Chris! I’d love to connect. I have a list of great hard money lenders and will shoot you a message with the ones I’ve had great experiences with. Since you’re looking to refinance into a traditional mortgage, are you planning to hold these properties as rentals rather than strictly flipping? Would love to hear more about your strategy!

Hi Ravi! Welcome to the world of real estate investing—it’s great that you’re thinking strategically about your next steps.

Your decision between multifamily, SFH, or townhouses will depend on your goals, risk tolerance, and how hands-on you want to be. Multifamily properties often provide stronger cash flow but can require more management, while SFHs can be easier to finance and resell. Townhouses may have lower maintenance but could come with HOA fees that eat into cash flow.

Since you’re in New Jersey but looking out of state, have you considered landlord-friendly markets with strong rental demand? Markets like San Antonio (where I’m based), Indianapolis, or certain areas in the Midwest/Southeast tend to offer good cash flow with lower entry costs compared to coastal cities.

How involved do you want to be in property management? That can help determine whether you need a strong local team or if a more passive approach (like turnkey rentals) might be better. Would love to hear more about what kind of returns you're aiming for!

Hi Katrina, welcome to the community! That’s awesome that you’re managing co-living/group homes in San Antonio while being out of state—definitely not an easy feat!
