This area definitely gives you good weather year round, summertime gets hot so as long as you're getting systems serviced before then and then in the fall you're usually ok. 

San Antonio is hot in the summer.I will compare my return on San Diego purchases against any market, but if you plan to buy rent ready, I think many markets will beat San Diego in the short term.  10 years or more out, I suspect few markets will beat San Diego.  

Things ain't lookin so hot for mr Morris.

From the little I know of San Antonio (I am a wholesaler who specializing in selling STRs nationwide) its not a super hot Airbnb market but the amount you expect for rent sounds pretty conservative. 

The beach access limitations have been a hot topic for investors, and it’s definitely something to dig into if you’re considering the area. 

There is a river of hot water by the hotel Tabacon in San Carlos that is an absolutely unique experience.  

This is a hot topic, and something I go back & forth on.
