Texas realesate investment?
January 172010
I live in Los Angeles and I am considering purchasing realestate in texas. I am trying to generate positive cash flow. I am looking for 1 stop place where broker can help me purchase and help me with property management. Since I live in LA it has to be someone extremely responsible and knowledgeble. If you had positive experience in this area please let me know who I should contact
You’re too late. Too many investors have already bought, driving sale prices up and driving rental prices down.
In San Antonio, there are new, never been lived in houses, sitting vacant since July because they’re not renting. Also, when they do rent it will not be for a positive cash flow.
The average sale price in San Antonio is about $165K. A house in that price range, bought with a 5% down payment and 6% interest will have a mortgage (with escrows for tax and insurance) of about $1,600. That house will then be able to rent for about $975 to $1,150.
My broker is a full time property manager and this past summer was getting calls from SO many California investors who had just bought houses that they wanted him to rent for them. Their hearts were broken when he told them the facts of how much they could rent for.
