This home is in an neighborhood my wife and I love, and would consider moving into.

I've been in Northern VA for about 2.5 years and starting to know the towns/neighborhoods pretty well, let me know if you have any questions on the area.

Thanks on the input @rick Harmon Thanks for the advice, I work for a plumbing company and had work in the neighborhoods and talked with my customers about the property and they have said that the home owners just up and left the property, but I will be giving a call and try to get in touch with the right owners

In our neighborhood (+/- a mile), I have not seen a single home sit on the market for more than a month since we have been here.  

There's a certain comfort with local people who are well woven into the fabric of my neighborhood.

Sometimes these folks are self-serving.If you are looking for some guidance in finding properties, you may want to attend public auctions, track down sellers of expired listings, attend rent and housing court in your community.Driving the neighborhoods is a great way to find unwanted real estate.Good luck

I also just moved to San Antonio from Indiana, so I need to start learning what are good neighborhoods and where to stay away. 

Don't want another commute once I get here.Want neighborhood/condo/townhouse community to not have crime issues, and would be nice if it had exercise amenities (but lots of gyms nearby, so probably just as easy to join one of them)Price <$125KWill be looking to make an offer in March-AprilI appreciate any advice on neighborhoods/communities to look for that would fit some/most/all of these goals!

These, as you may know are two different neighborhoods, with different housing styles and different prices - but both of them have the potential to cash flow equally.  

Where I live, you barely can find a SFH on a tiny lot in a B- to C neighborhood for that amount.
