Now, if you're in a neighborhood where one builder built 1500 homes in 2005 and all of them are 1600sf, you may be ok since everything is the same.... but that's generally not the case.The $/sf model is a lazy one and requires minimal research and unstable results.

Valuables can be stored in a safe, storage room or safety deposit box.

They might not even do anything if they don't have that safety net.

I'm sure I'm missing a couple others.I remember mentioning this when I first moved out here and how I was genuinely fearful from a public safety standpoint and then a year later October 1st happened :-(Plus on a better note, Golden Knights + Raiders + eventual NBA team (inevitable)...bound to bring an ounce of stabilization in rougher times.

If you have liquidity and/or other issues, you would want to have a margin of safety built in.

I would think immediately as this is a safety and security issue.

I am currently stationed at Lackland AFB in San Antonio and plan on investing in buy and hold investing anywhere from San Antonio to Austin, being deployed I have found a few like minded people who also want to get into investing and we have discussed everything from finding deals to funding them to forming LLC's as a safety net, but the first question that always comes up is where to start when we get back.
