San Marcos Deal Skills

What Should Agents Check on Rental and Investor Deals?

A large university brings a steady rental market. That means more lease deals and more investor buyers.

These deals have their own rules. Our training and contract support cover them.

  1. Lease timingMany leases near campus start in the late summer. Plan listings and showings around that cycle.
  2. Zoning and occupancyCity zoning can limit how many people may live in a home. Check before an investor buys.
  3. Existing leasesGet copies of current leases and deposits. Know what transfers to the buyer.
  4. Full tax rateAdd city, county, school, and any district taxes. They change an investor's numbers.
  5. Flood mapsThe area has a history of flooding. Check flood zones near the rivers and creeks.
