MI took a look at the competition in the area, and this is one of 2 houses that has a washer and dryer in each unit and a brand new garage in back.

Too much competition in the area from new product, owner is a tired landlord who has mismanaged, has the area changed to more commercial or mainly single family houses in nature?

Now, since market is more competitive, I am also want to take a look at Commercial and Multi-family property mainly in San Antonio.I am really appreciate if any San Antonio agent who has such expertise could connect me and have a discussion.Again, thank you all who contribute to the community.Niklas

I think it would also give me a leg up on the competition to keep this house rented consistently. 

With family who can manage the properties, lower competition, and higher rent/dollar invested it seemed like an obvious decision.

Competitive rent coupled with a young family should do just fine.

I also bring up active properties so that I can show competition (I don't use in numbers, just something I find useful for the seller/buyer to know).

There will no problem (imo) that it will be easy to rent at a competitive price.

@Avi Garg Well that's great news...the main downside I get is the refinancing in 5yrs since interest rates are so competitive at the moment? 

@Bab Adetiba I don't know much about home building, but I do know that you will generally see better cash flow (and less competition) on the outskirts of DFW.
