Either they never pick up phone or they don't undestand what I want.

@Mark GoncalvesBuy now.At least what I'm seeing here in Denver and Colorado Springs, the market is picking up.

It will hinge on your tenant selection.

As long as you pick the right areas in San Antonio, your rental will do well and your rents will continue to increase year over year.2.

I write in the book:  BETTER, FASTER, CHEAPER - PICK TWO. 

If I were you, I would reach out to a few and pick the one that best aligns with your goals. 

When I pick up the tab, I have my friend sign the check.

Maybe they will sell, but they want to live there for another 6 months or pick their ideal sale date.

I've looked at a lot of condos and houses in the past few weeks and from being in the field I can tell you that the transaction volume is picking up again - a lot of places are going into contract and prices are holding up well.My two favorite investment opportunities right now are single family homes in the top areas that your budget can afford and condos in buildings that were launched 4-6 years ago, are now in the market and have a lot of selling pressure because people who bought pre-construction want to sell and take profits. 

Some people got butthurt when I started charging $799/hour for investors who wanted to "pick my brain."
