I am a Real Estate Agent located in the city of Bakersfield California, after graduating from Bakersfield High School I continued my education at the University of San Francisco.

My current game plan is to look heavily into Dallas, San Antonio, and Austin (may be priced out of Austin).

Sure.Here's how I would put it together if we're claiming primary residence..... get a very well drawn out letter of explanation probably involving her office or location of work being near the subject property and have the employer document the request to be closer to work so the story flows and is plausible in the mind of an UW.Now if you're going to put down 10% anyway you could just structure it as a second home purchase as second homes can be purchased with as low as 10% down up to a max of 417k loan amount in most parts of the country and especially so in Los angeles, Orange county, San Bernardino, and Riverside, and Ventura counties surrounding you.

Also have some in San Antonio.  

I only buy after they;ve gone through foreclosure.I'd never build a nice site built home in a crummy neighborhood unless its some freak situation outside San Francisco where in a few years the junkers will be torn down and $1M (small) homes will be built.  

Does anyone know a good metal roofer with reasonable prices in San Antonio?  

I'm interested in exploring the Texas markets (San Antonio, Austin, Dallas), but am hesitant to begin in a market I have no immediate knowledge of.

I live in San Diego and understand what the SoCal market is like. 

I'm in the San Diego market and am looking to purchase out of state as well.

I have just relocated to San Antonio but have lived in Houston for the past 4 years.
