Quote from @Ray Lai: @Jordan GrahamFor San Diego, central areas around Clairemont Mesa/ Serra Mesa / Kearny Mesa / Linda Vista.

So, people do what those wanting to live in Manhattan or San Francisco have been doing for 60 years, splitting rent on the “pad”.  

Sans the closet situation :) good luck with it. 

There is an area in San Diego (city Heights) where almost every property has an unpermitted unit.

My husband and I live in San Antonio and have been investing in real estate for a couple years.

Please feel free to reply or DM.Invest 5S is currently offering several build-to-rent investment units in San Antonio area. 

Looking to connect with any investors in the San Diego area.

From my research so far, it seems the demand is pretty high in general for STR's, I was also looking at San Antonio but would prefer to be in Florida and Jacksonville is the city in Florida that fits my budget, interested to hear from anyone who may know more about STR's there and to connect with anyone.

If you live in Seattle, San Francisco or Bosten it may be worth considering, because the difference is so large.

I'm scratching my head because I feel like the program, least locally here in San Antonio, TX, tells all the landlords to put our listings there, but the tenants don't look there.
