.: Quote from @Doug Smith: I know exactly what is happening with the push-back you're getting.

To be as fair as possible, I'll let everyone know who would have qualified that the unit has been filled and is no longer available.

Not an excuse but just letting you know the way it is. 

You know the areas, etc.

As a Mexican realtor, I’ve worked with clients alongside an accountant to simplify the process, including setting up the necessary bank account for rental income.Let me know if you'd like more guidance! 

I know that I should try to stay at 60% - 70% LTV.

Just know that if you are moving somewhere to chase the hot market, it will only stay hot for so long.

Besides the financial liability, I would not want the mental trauma and anxiety of knowing a kid had died in my pool. 

Most also work off of call lists that are incredibly outdated, so anything you do today likely won't have an impact for a while....I received a call from an idiot on Tuesday wanting to know if I would sell a piece of land.

I’ve considered multifamily or duplexes, but from what I’ve heard, they’re unideal right now, so I’m leaning towards STRs.I’ve put together a list of areas that seem STR-friendly with good tourism appeal, and I’d love to get feedback from people who know the San Antonio market well.
