Pay the extra or settle?

[Bruce Horner]

As a new investor, my current market in ATX is at it's peak in pricing.  Whether that comes falling down, who knows but what I don't want to do is wait for the "bubble" to pop rather, I'd like to get started sooner investing sooner than later.  I'm looking to find a property under 100k.  I'm interested in the San Antonio and Savannah GA market which makes my options pretty narrow.  Markets like KC, St. Louis and Memphis are more reasonable in that price range.  

My question to you, taking yourself back to being a new investor, would you pay the extra to get into a market you want or would you stick with the plan of finding a property under 100k?  Asking for a friend...
