Hi @Shawn Abe- I am also actively looking in San Antonio and while I haven't yet purchased a property in that area yet, I have talked to a lot of property managers and I think if you have a good team around you you can avoid this issue.

I was able to lock in a management and rehab team right after posting this.

I think any generic thing you can do to make it a comfortable hangout spot without any wild themes would be fine.

Having a good team is more important than the being in the best market.

As a buyer, you don't pay any commissions so why not add some bench strength to your search and have a realtor - one who works with investors - be part of your resource team.

Unless you have teams that you can rely on to guarantee the rehab to go as planned, and get rented out at the price you require, and being appraised for refi, its a higher risk due to high interest payments.

Either him or someone from his team could help you.

The property manager is THE MOST IMPORTANT part of your team, so might as well start searching early. 

We are Husband+Wife team.

Brandon Turner & David Green constantly stress the Importance of building the right team so Im taking local initiative.
