Started investing in Columbus while living in San Francisco, CA in 2021.

I'm originally from San Francisco, CA and started investing in 2021.

I am currently in Southern California (San Bernardino and Riverside Counties) and I'm looking for advice from anyone in the SoCal that has experience in dealing with Pre-Forclosure properties.

I don't know about San Antonio.Arbitrage is a bit of a difficult row to hoe oftentimes.

Hi Frank, Consider long-term rentals in the San Antonio area for a solid real estate investment!

Not only are they doing well, but they are in prime spots of San Antonio.

@Yang Zeng Welcome to the Bigger Pockets.As you can see in my profile, my business and hub is in San Diego, not far from you, but all our investments for myself and my clients are in well performing markets in the Midwest.We specially in this out-of-state- approach that really requires more than just the properties.I agree that you should keep a reserve and not spend all your funds but I could help you with 6 properties that would pay you about $5K/ month in cash flow or $60K/year based on your available funds while having about $100K reserve.I like to help you see the performance difference between our area in CA and the Midwest.

I am a brand new agent located in East County, San Diego. 

The way Avery Carl (the author) and the podcast guests describe it, managing an STR seems quite straightforward, though I'm aware it requires significant effort to be successful.My plan is to purchase a property for under $400k, make a 10% down payment, and self-manage it as an STR.Living in San Diego, and given the real estate prices in Southern California, finding a profitable STR locally seems challenging.
