In hindsight I probably should have gotten an additional HVAC-specific inspection and tested the measurements for the actual washer/dryer space.

My wife and I also own the only interior design company specifically for real estate investors, Ivory Home.

But if you have a cash buyer who is specifically looking for income property, and even more specifically a vacation rental property,  I firmly believe that there is a value add from having a working STR there.

If you have specific questions about property management, I'll be happy to help!

If you’re using financing, this situation might also influence lender decisions.I have many rentals in Jacksonville FL and have had to evict three tenants.

@Robert Washington We don't have any specific features geared towards military personnel, but I would be happy to set up a meeting with you to help you get the most out of the platform. 

Would be very interested to hear from experienced investors on your thoughts for these two areas specifically.

On top of this if at all possible I’d recommend choosing specific neighborhoods to become an expert on as opposed to just thinking “anywhere in the San Antonio market could work”.

You really have to understand people situation a lot more before giving advice.  

When it comes to analyzing properties, I’ve developed a specific checklist to make sure the home fits both resident needs and operational goals:Square Footage: Ideally, at least 2,000 sq. ft. to ensure enough living space for residents and staff.No Stairs or Pools: It reduces liability and keeps the home accessible for everyone (this is just my preference).Corner Lots: I love corner lots because they often provide extra parking and outdoor space—both of which are critical for families and visitors.
