San Marcos sits at the center of the I-35 Corridor between Austin and San Antonio, in Hays County, one of the fastest-growing counties in the United States. ZI Properties covers all of Hays County, including San Marcos, Kyle, and Buda.
San Marcos has characteristics that create unique real estate situations. Texas State University brings a large student rental market, which also means a high number of landlords who acquired properties as rentals and now want out. Properties near campus often have deferred maintenance, tenant complications, and condition issues that make traditional listing difficult. ZI Properties buys landlord properties with tenants in place, no eviction required before closing. Many of these owners bought near campus years ago, have self-managed through cycle after cycle of one-year leases and August turnovers, and are simply done. If that is you, we take the property with the lease, the deposits, and the repair list exactly as they stand. A water heater on its last legs, carpet that has outlived four sets of tenants, a unit that has sat empty since spring, none of it changes whether we buy.
Hays County property taxes have also increased dramatically alongside the county's growth. San Marcos is the county seat, and the old courthouse still anchors the square downtown, but the number that matters to most owners comes from the Hays Central Appraisal District. Along the I-35 corridor, appraised values have climbed year after year as growth pushed down from Austin and up from San Antonio, and that is how a paid-off house turns into a property-tax problem: the appraisal rises, the bill follows, and an owner on a fixed income, or an heir who lives out of town, falls behind. Hays County processes delinquent collections under the same Texas Tax Code framework as Bexar and Comal Counties, with the same escalating penalties. If you owe back taxes on a San Marcos property, we pay them off at closing and you keep the difference.
San Marcos carries real flood history. The Memorial Day weekend flood of 2015 on the Blanco River and a second major flood that October sent water into homes across low-lying parts of the city, with the Blanco Gardens neighborhood east of the interstate among the hardest hit. A house that has flooded, or that sits in a mapped flood zone near the rivers, is genuinely difficult to sell the conventional way: buyers get quoted flood insurance premiums, lenders ask for elevation certificates, and inspection findings kill contracts late in the process. We buy flood-damaged and flood-zone houses in San Marcos as-is, whether the damage was repaired years ago or never touched, with no remediation and no insurance file to wait on before closing.
We buy properties throughout San Marcos, off Wonder World Drive, along the Aquarena Springs corridor, near the Texas State campus, in Blanco Gardens and the neighborhoods along the rivers, and out into Kyle, Buda, Wimberley, and rural Hays County. Call us or fill out the form.
