@Naga A.Naga-san, are you able to make it?

Currently, I live in San Jose and work in Silicon Valley.

Hello everyone, my name is Paul and I'm originally from Maui, Hawaii soon to be San Antonio TX local.

I'm located in the SF Bay Area in San Jose, so if there's anyone I can buy a coffee in exchange for some of your time, I'd be more than happy to connect.Lastly, I don't think I'll be ready to start seriously looking for a first investment for a few months, so the question is, when is the right time to start talking to people like real estate agents, brokers, lenders etc.?

Hello SA folks. I'm trying to buy an LTR buy and hold SFH property on the far-west side. 5-6 miles west of Alamo Ranch. Upon some analysis with some local friends found that is a desirable area. Can you give some poin...

The challenge for me is that I live in San Diego CA and the market is expensive and I compete with owner-occupiers who will pay top dollar.

Hi FriendsIs it still worth buying str investment properties in San Antonio and/or other San Antonio suburban cities? 

However, we keep coming back to the potential that the best first deal actually lies in a property that my mom owns in San Diego.

In San Diego, they recently applied STR quotas.  

There are just some markets (San Francisco, Southern California, NYC, parts of NY, Washington DC, etc) where labor and materials are much higher than most of the rest of the country, unfortunately.
