Thinking about relocating to San Antonio

[Thegomezclan]

My and I will be driving down to San Antonio this weekend to see if we can find a place to stay. I will have temporary work until I can find something more permanent. The problem that we are running into is that when we were younger we screwed up our credit. Also having such a large family is not helping. Any help on finding leads on home would be greatly appreciated.

Best of luck and GOD speed.

Where will you be working? I know all about credit and being young and dumb. You should be able to get your credit score to mid to high 600s in a around 6 months. Find a credit forum and do some reading, download any credit apps that are free, like credit karma, and trans Union. Once you establish a little credit only use under 10% of your available credit. There are some easy steps you can take to improve your credit pretty quickly. Take stuff like nerflicks, and set it up to draw from a card. Set up auto pay balance in full from your bank account and then forget about the card. You are using a small percentage of available credit and establishing payment in time History.

If you have Faith, things will work out.... they always do....

What is your budget for a rental? How many rooms want/need? Side of town work on, want to live on?

Thanks, I know the will. I'm just hoping they work out in that area.

Our budget now is around $1500, right now we are living in a three bedroom 1200 square foot trailer home so we are not picky. I like the north side of town, the temporary job will be in New Braunfels.

 

[itchin]

Why not look in New Braunfels? $1500 will get you a nice place. Plus no traffic to worry about. Also check out Schertz and Cibolo.

I plane on it, we are staying in the Selma this weekend while we look. Seen a place I Seguin that we are going try and look at

 

[itchin]

Seguin would be plenty close to work. I live in New Braunfels, and work in San Marcos. Takes me 18 minutes to get to work. San Marcos is nice because you're close to both Austin and San Antonio.

 

[Thegomezclan]

Thanks, I will look there also.

Slower pace, nice back roads to most anywhere.

Seguin is nice, I like it. More expensive than San Antonio as far as renting/buying, but nice quiet town. Let me know if you have any questions.

I know of several rental properties in NB. Let me do some checking. Please PM me with your details. Family size, pets, everything a LL would want to know.

New Braunfels is a good idea. No traffic, close to work, and right up the road from San Antonio. When we think of shit to do we can skip down to San Antonio or up to Austin in no time.

Well we had two people that said we could look at there houses. One was in Seguin and it didn't have a yard at all and needed work. The one we looked at in San Antonio was no better, wife and I didn't even look at theside. You know it is a bad neighborhood when you see people walking around with tire irons.

 

[Thegomezclan]

So well I'm here I will be looking to add a gun or to my collection so the trip won't be a total loss.

Had an interview in Fredericksburg yesterday and it went really well. My wife and I really love the area.

I'm sure it's just neighbors helping neighbors.

I know nothing about it but my guess is Fredericksburg is relatively expensive. It is nice though.
Good luck with whatever you decide.
