Bought my brother's tractor near San Antonio and had it shipped to Belize.

I would look into San Bruno or South San Francisco .

On the hard money side, lining up your exit before you close is huge—knowing exactly how you’ll refinance (and with which lender) saves a lot of stress.I’m based out of San Antonio, but I work closely with Houston agents to help both my Houston and San Antonio investors find strong deals.

Do you know any operators that would want to lease one of our properties over in San Antonio?

A San Diego host I know switched their lead photo between their pool and a cozy firepit setup depending on the time of year - it kept the listing fresh and boosted engagement year-round.Capture Functional LuxuryGuests love spaces that solve problems while feeling high-end.

Our son is moving from Catania Sicily to San Diego.  

My son is moving to San Diego so I took a look at housing.  

•Texas (San Antonio, Houston suburbs): Larger markets, diverse economies, and historically steady rental demand.What makes them “good” usually boils down to three things:1.Cash Flow: Rent-to-price ratios that support DSCR > 1.2 without over-leveraging.2.Growth: Population and job trends that support long-term appreciation.3.Landlord Laws: States/municipalities where eviction and lease enforcement aren’t overly restrictive.On my side, I help investors get financing lined up for both short-term value-add plays and long-term rentals (up to 80% leverage on 30-year terms ).

My San Diego market is at a historically worse.- it is the 2nd or 3rd (depending on your source) least affordable for high leverage residential since records were kept.
