The plan was to buy a warehouse, lay down turf and hard courts and lease the space to local schools and leagues and host tournaments.

This is prime real estate, and is just about the last piece of land in this area.I have begun to develop a commercial property that I own with contractor garages, which is the extent of my experience in this space.I'm trying to get a sense of how to structure something like this, with using LP's, and also partnering with a builder, and carving something out in that regard.Does anyone have recommendations on who is currently working in this space and could provide some insight?

It is in an enclosed gate area that can only be opened from inside the fence so I'm leaning away from using it as storage space while I have other guests staying there.

This really ties into proactive vacancy management—you’re not just filling spaces, you’re building lasting relationships with your tenants.

The area does not have many units with parking spaces or garages, so, I am not overly worried about this (will probably reduce rents by $100-200).

—it’s also about reliability, attention to detail, and someone who just “gets” your space and your guests’ expectations.Do you have any hidden gems, local recommendations, or tips to share?

I would look at the DSCR loan as the first option.By the way, I suspect you are going to be disappointed by any refi appraisals   ADUs typically appraise poorly   JADUs can lower the property value Vs having the space as part of the primary unit.  

Assuming we are talking about similar versions of co-living, I would argue it is higher.I own a co-living space in Pittsburgh, PA. 

All this to say they are getting serious about permitting so if you are planning to invest in San Antonio in the short term rental space, MAKE SURE to check that the property is eligible for a short term rental permit given the density limits above and have a Realtor experienced with the San Antonio permitting requirements and rules. 

I've cheaped out and bought doors where I had to chisel out the space for the hinges and strike plates.
