I've been diving into real estate for about 10 years now, starting with reading all the books I could get my hands on.

My passion for real estate has been a lifelong journey, and I’m thrilled to channel that enthusiasm into helping others find their perfect home.When I’m not busy with real estate, you can find me skydive diving, hitting the gym, capturing moments through photography, or enjoying long walks and runs with my dog, Chip.

I will be diving into those in more details and putting together my Box based on the numbers and affordability.

Hey everyone,I’ve been diving into San Antonio’s STR regulations to get a clearer picture of how friendly the market is for short-term rentals.

One of the reasons I asked the question is that it seems strange to me that a property management wouldn’t take anything upfront if they inherited a house that wasn’t ready for rent .Our property management also does the cleaning ( deep clean over 4 days was $1000 but they had to deal with some nasty pet hair , fleas etc)and that included some cover up paint etc .One lesson learned here is every contract with owner : property management varied greatly it seems from what is needed .But moving forward - I feel that $500 a month on a $2100 a month property is too high once it’s rented - unless endless problems persist of course ..thanks for your insight!
