Hi PB Community,I am looking for an agent in San Antonio who is experienced working with investors and has intimate knowledge of San Antonio market.

I have not been around for 20+ years, but I consult with more experienced attorneys as needed, and I specialize in moving quickly without incurring ridiculous legal costs. 

Aside from being responsive and knowledgeable, she is also an experienced landlord and property manager and an expert in lease/purchase and owner financing.

If you notice majority of experienced people on here were trying to help you.

Learn in by talking to other experienced investors, reading books and listening to podcasts and make the move.Best of luck!
