@Jessenia Hartagefor sure you should house hack there if you can.investing there is more complicated since prices are high. 

Strong Rental Demand: San Antonio boasts a growing population and a thriving job market, making it a hotspot for renters seeking affordable housing options.

I use Open House Contemporary.

In December of 2023 we decided to house hack and we put 5% down on another property and moved out.

A few ideas for lead sources:Drive for dollars, then cold call the list.Get a list of houses in foreclosure from court.Try to get the "hard to get" lists (ie, where you have to go in person, not available online). 

I rented to my parents for 15+ years and when they past I rehabbed the house and sold it for $120k profit.

I would stay away from Facebook Marketplace, it was a crap show the couple times I threw a house up there, but that's just me. 

Say I bought the house cash thru HELOC, have it rehabbed.

House was in bad shape with outdated carpeting, wallpaper etc....

I still believe he’s better off with someone licensed in that seat to avoid any potential fair housing or other liability issues that can occur.
