Sidenote: I am a note investor and play in this space as my full time job, so I am not some crackhead. 

They have full time staff dedicated to seller/owner outreach and relationships...dialing all day every day.Seems like there would be lots of opportunity in SFR and apartment space in your market with interest rates nearly double caps rates.

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 have experience in the flip, rental, space and can help with the loan, and the real estate broker piece.

Using the appropriate amount of lights and mirrors is a pretty low-cost way to really make the space feel custom.Unique tile installation patterns such as vertical stacked or herringbone.

Hey Chris, welcome to the Valley.. and what a leap you’ve made, going from the East Coast’s fast pace to the wide-open spaces of Gilbert and Phoenix!

It creates a space for people to reflect, learn from each other, and even rediscover strategies they’ve forgotten.Revisit the Basics: I love how you mentioned going back to basics.Invitation is open let's have a coffee  next Tuesday  7:00 PM at the Squadron Restaurant next to Miami AirportJan 27,2024. 

A local property manager will make this much easier and handle the visits for you.Single-family homes can still do well, even with more apartments popping up, as they cater to tenants who want privacy and space.

I am considering getting into this space (looking at some courses), but worried that its too late, and that deep local market knowledge/understanding of buyers/connection with developers etc is required to make this work, which only incumbent/long term investors will have and would be hard for a new entrant starting from scratch to catch-up...is my hypothesis valid in your opinion ?

If you find someone at a REA or other investor meetup group that is currently in this space it can make your first time go much smoother.
