8% for Military Owners
Active-duty service members, veterans and military retirees pay 8% of rent charged each month instead of the standard 10%. The leasing fee is the same for everyone, 50% of one month's rent when we place a tenant. On a San Antonio home renting for $1,700, the military rate is $136 a month.
A Steady Line of Renters
The same military presence that sends you away brings renters in. People arriving at Fort Sam Houston, Lackland and Randolph often rent before they buy, and many want a home close to their gate. That demand is a good reason to keep a San Antonio home, as long as the rent is set right for the side of town it sits on.
Military tenants come with lease rules worth planning for. Texas law and the federal Servicemembers Civil Relief Act let a service member end a lease early in qualifying situations, such as PCS orders or deployment. We plan for that in the lease and in how we time renewals.
Before You Leave San Antonio
Start with a rental analysis in San Antonio as soon as you have orders. Get repairs done while you are still in town to make decisions, and have the home photographed while it still looks cared for. Call your insurance agent about a landlord policy, and talk to your lender if you have questions about renting a home bought with a VA loan.
While you are away, owner draws go to your bank by direct deposit with a monthly statement, and the home is inspected with photos every six months.
