Quote from @Dee Mandrekar: I am seeing lot of people recommending attorney David Willis from Houston.

Rentals near Fort Sam Houston have also done well for me over the past 4 years with STR and we are seeing long term rents increase dramatically there as well.

San Antonio is an rich vibrant city full of affordable housing, tourist attractions (Alamo, riverwalk, sixflags, white water and more), military bases (Fort Sam Houston, Lackland Air Force Base, and Randolph Air Force Base) and surrounded by great suburbs (Stone Oak, Alamo Ranch, and the Dominion).San Antonio reclaimed its spot as the nation's fastest-growing city in 2023. 

In terms of structuring the loan - I am in the Houston market looking for a deal that will cash flow.

I would focus on established markets that are still showing growth and have more than just one draw.Taking my main market of Tampa Metro as an example - There is more than just beaches, you also have MLB/NHL/NFL + Spring break and MLB Spring training, aquariums, golf, casino, new downtown development, and a lot of business travel.You want to avoid markets with just one draw, as if something happens to that draw, you will be hurting for who knows how long.

Here in Houston we had a tornado last week and no power until yesterday so had to take a time out on brainstorming but an inspector and contractor are going over there on Thursday so I have a better assessment.

Another AWESOME DEAL in Houston Texas!

That's according to data from local MLSs of the Houston Association of REALTORS®, North Texas Real Estate Information Systems, San Antonio Board of REALTORS® and the Austin Board of REALTORS®.Ben Caballero, the first Guinness World Record holder for home sales, broke his world record for an individual real estate agent, selling 5,793 homes totaling $2,270,911,643 in a single year.Ranked as the No. 1 real estate agent for nearly a decade by REAL Trends for both total sales and number of transactions, Caballero also listed an additional 668 homes for brokerages owned by home builders for an additional sales volume of $228,992,475.

We have an 8 bed 6 bath home in Houston that we renovated.

Again, they transact quietly.The few exceptions are a handful of very large foreclosures (e.g. 3200 units in Houston) with terrible operators.
