@Vincent Chen The best niche in real estate is based on your level of risk tolerance, access to funding, and personal investment style. There are so many different factors that it I couldn’t even begin to guess what might work well for you.

@Vincent Chen It depends on what you are looking for. If you're looking for lower end properties with cosmetic updates, San Antonio is probably the only place you will find those. There are some neighborhoods in San Antonio where you will find ARV's above $400k, but they are more of the exception and not the rule. While in Austin, that is closer to the median price of home sales. I personally prefer run down homes in the older well established and typically more expensive neighborhoods.

@Mario Essig There are several good meet ups held throughout the area. Go to as many as you can until you find what you are looking for.

@Alexis Schreier They just had a meeting yesterday morning, but I wasn’t able to make it.

@Rachel Clark If you have the capital and / or ability to purchase 10 - 15 acres in the Austin area, I would look into developing. There’s a lot of opportunities available throughout the region.

@Antonio Cosme Have to agree with @Jordan Moorhead. I tried demos for 4 different websites, and The CE Shop was the best for my money.

@Hassan Oukacha

I have a a couple that's been working for me off and on for the last few years that could help you out if you're interested.

Just marked it in my calendar. Looking forward to meeting a few more liked mind investors who are actively investing in the area.

@Brandon Kingcaid I know another investor that’s relatively new and looking to do the same thing. I’d be glad to introduce the two of you to talk further about some opportunities.

@Nathan Gruetzmacher

I'm originally from Yoakum and still have a lot of family in the area. I like Victoria and the surrounding area for the potential, but I'm currently investing and working in San Antonio because of the steady growth.

As a licensed real estate agent and a general contractor, I would pass on this opportunity and find a different real estate agent if their advice is to offer asking price. Your price should always be based on the numbers and not what a seller or agent thought the property was worth.

Feel free to reach out to me anytime if you ever need any help in the area.
