I'm particularly interested in the cash flow and appreciation potential of the market.What are the key pros and cons of investing in San Antonio from a cash flow perspective?

If you'd be in default where seller can sue you for damages above earnest money and real estate agents can sue for commissions, then you may want to consider those potential costs before making your final decision. 

If I add my cash flow it just pushes the amount up for a potential tenant to pay in rent. 

I am currently looking at a few locations/properties though Zillow, redfin etc. to get an idea of the rent/cash flow potential in the surrounding areas. 

The more uncomfortable you are, the more potential cash flow.

Market rate is $190k per unit.I'm really excited about the potential of this investment, but I want to ensure that I'm making sound financial decisions.

I have researched potential investment areas and found a market in North Carolina that meets my criteria.

Was still $2,500 plus a potential $600 for materials total after informing him.

This involves rolling your shares from your 401k into a brokerage account (Taxable event and potentially a 10% penalty if you're under 59.5 y/o). 

Condos can be a good option for new investors, but updating kitchens and bathrooms might not add as much value compared to single-family homes, especially with potential restrictions from condo associations.
