While I continue to work because I love what I do, I plan to stay in the workforce for the next 10 years.

If the salesperson can't give you an answer, request to speak with the Area Sales Manager (or whoever is managing that salesperson).I have never worked with Ryan Homes, but in my experience with my builder-clients, we typically want to continue using the model/sales office at least through sellout and potentially even longer depending on how many homes remain to be closed.

This is a solid indicator that sellers still remain in power within this high-demand neighborhood.Can this trend continue?

Yes - but at very specific submarkets and areas - STRS and MTRS still doing very well and I continue to be a big believer in 78702

I’m curious to see if anyone has any experience in this sort of subject as if it would be easier to buy a home with a building already on it then ask the township for a permit or if we should continue to look to buy and build. 

I hope to continue to learn from the vast amount of knowledge that is here, make connections and maybe someday do some deals with some of you!

Steve,Unless you are cash fluid and have a good chunk of change to continue to buy more properties, I would tell you to pull out some cash.

The hunt continues, but that’s also part of the fun.

Right now, most cities are seeing a decline in rent prices and in occupancy and that trend is likely to continue.

There is and will continue to be a shortage of good, affordable housing in growing markets like San Antonio.
