I am a real estate agent and a local investor as I said and investing in tourism sector in DR has different benefits:1- tax benefit ( no paying tax for 15 years )2- ROI +8% 3- Great Appreciation (natural and forced)4- financing 0% by the way, some residences are working with international tour operators and resort administrations like Windham who guarantee +60% occupancy over the year on your property. ( this is for long-distance investors )If you or anyone on this topic has any questions about it pls answer or DM me

San Antonio has experienced steady economic growth, fueled by a diverse economy including sectors such as healthcare, military, tourism, manufacturing, and an overflow from the Austin market. 

The future is bright for the area with recent additions to the tech sector (google, intel, amazon, honda, and many start ups).

Are all employment sectors within the market diversified (less than 20%)?

Being appraisers, we are familiar with estimating "cost to cure" of deficiencies, and we know useful life of short lived items so we can build seller credits into our offers that will help mitigate monthly costs to us for reserves.We are going to take it slow and steady, as I said, with an eye on returns that may not be spectacular but still rival the stock market in a sector of the economy we know well.Thanks for the encouragement @Dave Meyer!!

I'd really appreciate any advice, connections, or recommendations for a local agent.Huntsville can be a solid market for single-family rentals, especially given its economic growth (tech and aerospace sectors specifically).
