In my single family houses the tenants are responsible to mow the lawn (they supply their own lawn mower) and do simple gardening chores/clean-up and rake leaves and shovel snow.

Its two units (plus a semi livable garden in-law) and the main units rent for $1250 each.

Here that $500k might get you an unimproved 1950s bungalow in a moderate area of town (say a 2/2 or 3/2  in Allied Gardens or Clairemont Mesa).

I then asked my gardener and pool person that services the property if they saw him there lately.

But I have had friend recommendations to checkout these neighborhoods - Stone Oak, Universal City, Garden Ridge, Cibolo, & New Braunfels.Does anybody have any good recommendations for a realtor/company that specializes in these neighborhoods in San Antonio?

Then, all owner expenses are itemized and deducted (taxes, insurance, utilities, management (off site only for less than 16 units), maintenance & Repairs, Gardening, refuse removal, pest control, reserves for replacement, etc.

If your attorney does well, then he will have an excellent referral source for investors in the garden state.

I need some RE investing advice as my wife and I are having trouble coming to a decision on whether to sell our SF property given that we are moving.Background: bought San Francisco duplex in 2014 for $1.45 million (two, 2/1 units, 1150 sq ft each; and 1 unpermitted Jr. 1-bed in-law garage/garden unit - so technically three units).

From 3 to 6 y.o. child will be in preschool (named literally “garden” in Russian).

We own property in Hundred Oaks, Downtown and in the Garden District, which are all areas that we have been very happy with.
