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.

I would advise finding an investor friendly realtor when you choose a market.

I'd love to help by sending over my investor friendly PMs, lenders, GCs, etc.

The best way to navigate through all of these hurdles is to find an agent-friendly investor that is finding off-market deals solely for their clients

Just basic face to face talks with people soon to be friends.

I grew up in North Florida so I have a lot of family, friends and business contacts in that area.  

My goal is to build a data-driven tool that provides actionable insights into which neighborhoods and property types are in the highest demand, based on metrics like:Time on market: How quickly rentals are being leased.Property characteristics: Bedrooms, bathrooms, size, and amenities.Pricing trends: Rental rates relative to market demand and property features.Visual quality: Leveraging property photos to analyze the style and condition of rentals that perform well.The tool will allow users to:Pinpoint areas with the fastest rental turnovers.Understand what types of properties (size, price range, features) rent the quickest.Gain deeper insights into property presentation and amenities that correlate with high demand.Thank you in advance for your feedback.

Legal RequirementsIndiana landlord-tenant laws are generally landlord-friendly but require you to be diligent.

Your choice should align with whether your goal is quick resale or long-term rental income, and you should consult lenders who specialize in both DSCR and rehab-friendly options.Best regards, Stevan
