So I am wondering what's the best way to find contractors? 

Fall in love with the process, and success will follow.Reflecting on the Journey:What happened to me during this full cycle, including the 3-4 years of the pandemic as a RE investor?

Most real buyers will have agents and will put it in their offer that the payment for the buyer agent come from the settlement funds.

I inherited a home on the Westbank and I am slowly beginning to renovate it, as I start an new career with Tulane college. 

How is the market currently?

I’m fairly new to the self-managing/property management business and certainly new to dealing with section 8 tenants.I have a potential section 8 tenant who has inquired about one of my properties and they are in their opinion “disgusted” with the way the carpet looks however up until this point in my efforts of marketing the property I have not had one complaint concerning the carpet.That being said she has requested to rip out the carpet, in turn to replace the carpet with hardwood floors. 

Part of the value add strategy is to covert a number of the units to mid term rentals (30 days or more) as San Antonio has become more strict on STRs.

Hi everyone,Thanks for the amazing platform and helping new investors get acclimated in the world of real estate!

The address is 401 Travis St.

Same with the 50-100% of one month of rent for Placement.NOTE: STR doesn't charge for Placement - hence the 30% figure.Recommend tying the MTR fee to the length of the stay - the shorter it is, the higher percentage you may want to charge.
