Seguin is the Guadalupe County seat, set on the Guadalupe River along I-10 about 33 miles east of downtown San Antonio. Its rental market mixes single-family homes, a good number of duplexes and fresh construction on the edges of town.

Reading the Seguin numbers correctly

The MLS feed we draw on files many Seguin-area homes in ways that do not always match the town name, so the figures on this page cover homes within about 12 miles of Seguin's center. That circle reaches toward McQueeney, Marion and the eastern edge of New Braunfels. Seguin itself has plenty of houses and rentals; the wider radius simply gives a fuller picture of what an owner here competes with.

Measured that way, about 124 homes are for rent in and around Seguin, with a median ask of about $1,600 a month and the same for three-bedroom homes. That is a bit below the area-wide $1,700. Rentals stay listed about 39 days at the median, six days quicker than the 45 typical across the San Antonio area.

Duplex owners: two leases, one property

Duplexes show up often here. Roughly 40 of the homes on the market in and around Seguin are duplexes, alongside about 134 single-family homes, a handful of townhomes and a few condos. Owning one, whether one side or both, brings its own work.

Two tenants means two screenings, two leases, two deposits and two renewal dates, often under one roof and sometimes on one water meter. We keep both units on lease schedules that do not leave you with two vacancies at once, inspect each side separately every quarter, and handle shared items like the roof, the yard and the parking area without tenants arguing over whose job it is. Each unit's rent, repairs and documents show up separately in your owner portal.

Pricing when rent runs slightly under the area

With a median near $1,600, Seguin renters watch price closely. A home listed $100 too high can sit while a comparable one down the street signs a lease. We look at the homes truly competing with yours, by size, age, neighborhood and type, and set rent there. Then we track showings and inquiries in the first two weeks and tell you plainly if a change is needed.

Your listing gets professional photos, goes on the MLS and the major rental sites, and a licensed agent shows it. That reaches people relocating along the I-10 corridor as well as families already in Seguin.

New homes at Woodside Farms and around town

Much of what is listed near Seguin is recent. The typical home was built in 2016, and about 55% were built in 2015 or later, with Woodside Farms among the communities still adding new homes. New construction gives renters more choices, so an older rental needs to be clean, well kept and priced right to hold its own.

For owners of newer homes in places like Clear Springs Ranch, North Park Meadows, Creekside Crossing, Voss Farms or Avery Park, we track any open builder warranty items, pass HOA rules to the tenant, answer violation letters, set up amenity access and can pay dues from rent.

Screening and move-in

Credit, income, employment, eviction, criminal and prior landlord checks, all against written criteria.
You see the results and approve the tenant before a lease is offered.
Lease signed online through the tenant's own login.
Room-by-room photo inspection, keys and codes, utilities switched and renters insurance on file.

Keeping the house sound between leases

Four times a year we walk the house inside and out, and the photos land in your portal. HVAC servicing, filter changes, gutter cleaning and pest control are booked ahead of time. About 22% of homes for sale near Seguin sit on an acre or more, and for those we add fence lines, outbuildings, septic and any well to the checklist.

Tenants report problems day or night with photos. Licensed vendors we already work with take the job, and anything under the dollar limit you choose is fixed without waiting for approval; above it, we call. Invoices are billed at cost, with the vendor's bill attached and no markup.

Collections, statements and payday

Rent comes in online or by autopay through each tenant's login. A late payment starts a set series of reminders and then written notices. You receive direct deposit on a set day every month, a monthly statement, a 1099 at year end, and a portal listing every payment, repair, inspection and document. We charge no management fee while a Seguin home is vacant.

Move-outs and legal steps in the county seat

At move-out we check the home against the move-in photos, itemize the deposit and return it within the 30 days Texas law allows, then scope turn work and relist. Renewal offers and rent increases are sent ahead of each lease end. Should eviction become necessary, notices and filings go through the Guadalupe County justice courts, handled strictly by Texas law.
