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.

I'm in the process of studying and reading right now but I'm scared to go to far and miss the start button... mostly I'm doing this because I'm nervous about the actual credit and loan side of the whole operation.

@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.
