South Texas Markets
The short version, then the substance.
Key Takeaways
- The first Tuesday machine
- The work before the auction
- Capital that matches the venue
The first Tuesday machine. Bexar County trustee sales run the first Tuesday of each month. Properties sell as-is, often sight-unseen inside, for certified funds fast. The discount compensates the risk, and preparation determines which one you get.
The work before the auction. Pull the list early, drive every candidate, check liens and taxes, and estimate values conservatively. Most listed properties cancel or postpone, so build a deep board and expect to bid on the survivors.
Capital that matches the venue. Trustee sales reward buyers who can perform immediately. Pre-arranged asset-based capital with proof of funds turns you into the bidder sellers cannot beat. Talk to your lender before the first Tuesday, not after.
