Quote from @Matthew Tyson:

As the title reads, I am looking for a DSCR lender with no seasoning requirement (if possible). I purchased a rental property just over 30 days ago with cash, and already have a tenant in place. Looking to pull capital out to move onto other projects I have in the pipeline. Also interested in entertaining funding for those if possible. I am familiar with delayed financing, but would like to pull more than 80% of purchase price out if possible. 

• Property is located in San Antonio Texas. 

• Purchased for $120k. All in around $127.5k. 

• Insurance @ $860/year. 

• Property Tax @ $2,950/year. 

• No HOA.

• 12 month lease in place as of 10/1 @ $1,395/Month.

Thank You!

 @Matthew Tyson    Yes, it is possible!  What do you think the property is worth today? 


 $185k

Investment Info:

Single-family residence buy & hold investment.

Purchase price: $120,000
Cash invested: $125,000

Picked up this house from a wholesaler at a great value. Very little work needed to get it ready for tenants. Crushed the market rents and went from closing to tenant in place in less than 30 days. Will wait for seasoning period to pass to complete the BRRRR with a current ARV of $185k+.

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

The home was in great condition and offered far below market value with very little Capex needed.

How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

Wholesale transaction.

How did you finance this deal?

Cash 

How did you add value to the deal?

Not much value needed to be added other than some light electrical work, appliances, and rent specific needs.

What was the outcome?

Off market in 6 days with multiple applications submitted at asking price.

Lessons learned? Challenges?

Never trust that just because a property has passed city inspections on a remodel, that the work was performed well. Always get an inspection. Biggest challenge was that initially the home did not have main power connected from city. I committed to seller that I would purchase once I could confirm power was on and get my inspector inside. I was prepared to walk away but this kept the deal on the ropes for over 2 months before we contracted to buy. Once that was done, we closed quick and got to work. 

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

My wife is our Realtor, she listed property. Wholesaler and Title company to close deal. Self managing. I have a great inspector that I could count on to dig deep into the house.

Post: Questions about owning/operating an STR in San Antonio

@AaronBihl is correct. Here is the map location: One Stop

Once you are there, click on Advanced Search, then Select A Layer, then select Short Term Rentals. 

I would also cross reference this with what is visible here with what is listed on STR sites like AirBnB. For example, outside of Lackland AFB between 410, 151, and 90, there are at least 19 STR's that are listed for rent on AirBnB that do not show active CoSA permits. This is a possible avenue of approach.


Here is the STR CoSa density Fact Sheet

Quote from @Adrian Oden:

Is there a potential opportunity here or would the upfront costs to acquire and complete the project out weigh the end profits ? 

Depends on location, price to acquire, price to finish, holding costs, and market rents. Can you provide any more details?

The gap is closing between SA and Austin. Soon, we will be a major metroplex. Although I don't see anyone who knows the area moving to SA to commute to Austin. It's brutal. 

I think San Antonio will continue to be a smart market to invest in for years to come. Historically, we are very well insulated from national market forces, although not immune. The current low(er) cost of living compared to other markets and lower entry points make it very attractive. Our military bases are spread out with JBSA having Lackland, Ft. Sam, Randolph, and Camp Bullis and knowing where those active duty personnel tend to migrate towards helps. Also, Lackland AFB, just last week opened up their graduation ceremonies to full capacity. We are talking about a graduation class of 400-600 service members every week needing STR's close to the area.

I am a local investor myself and a Realtor, if you want to bounce anything off me feel free to reach out. I won't badger you for your business.

Quote from @Brandon Harkins:

I only plan on paying cash for the down payment and repairs. It’ll be 15% down. Repairs I’m estimating (very roughly) at around 5-7k.

IIf you can get a lender to finance the deal and repairs come in at $7k - without knowing more it sounds good on the surface. I would be sure to have a detailed scope of work prepared for a contractor to bid repairs. You will want to make sure the place is in top shape to reduce capex costs down the line.

Quote from @Brandon Harkins:

This is my first post. I have one rental that my fiancé use to live in. I’m currently looking at a second.

House: 3b1b 1070sf house built in 1940 

Listed price: $62500

It's currently rents for $875/month and needs several repairs. There are multiple soft spots in the floor, minor ceiling damage throughout, shower/tub kit likely needs replaced, areas of rotted wood on the outside, old floor furnace needs properly sealed, and the carpet needs ripped up and replaced. It hasn't been inspected, but will be before I buy it. Cash flow is the main goal. With some quick math I'm looking at around 17% cash on cash ROI. Any input on if this is a good deal or any red flags I should be looking for?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks 


I'm assuming the CoC return is due to a cash sale. A lot more info is needed though. Do you want to BRRRR this property? What's the ARV? What do you estimate repairs to cost? What will be the market rent once repairs are complete? Is it tenant occupied? Are they vacating? Have you seen a rent roll?

Here is the foreclosure site for Bexar County: Bexar County Foreclosure Auction

You can also view them here: Auction Site

If you are purchasing a tax foreclosure from the Sheriff Sale, you will need to get a bidders certificate first. You can find that information here: Request for written statement form

Both the Sheriff's tax sale and Foreclosure Auction happen at the same time and I believe at this time only once per month on the first Tuesday of every month. I could be wrong about that though. Make sure you have money ready to go.
