I'm not as cool or smart as you guys,  all I can report is that rental demand has been steady and a lot of buyers looking into the Ocean View area for investment purposes. 

It might be a weird time to pick up multifamily rentals since there is a massive apartment complex being built at the moment, but single family should be pretty safe.Also worth mentioning San Antonio is experiencing massive appreciation right now and a portion of that is certain to spill over into the Corpus area based on proximity and a lot of San Antonio residents vacationing there.

I see a lot of first-time investors get in over their heads, and a realtor is a great resource to help guide you through the process for the first time.

Owned solar 11kw virtually pay no electricity year around after 4.5K investment and a tax credit.

The same for flips, the learning curve is steep and a simple mistake can set you back or take you out of the game altogether.

The case will take them about one and a half years and they will get tired of it.

And as far as RE agents, I was one at the time of this purchase :).

Right now it's being self-managed by my Dad and a few family members.

So, if you ever find yourself in a similar situation, just remember: with a little grit and a lot of perseverance, anything is possible.

I found a good realtor in one area who also had rentals of his own and found 2 places that worked (and a year later got a 3rd).
