I am a new investor from San Antonio.

If that isn't feasible like it wasn't for me (personally being born and raised in San Francisco), you may want to look out of state.

And it's in a super convenient, central location, closer to downtown San Francisco than most of SF neighborhoods, and easy access to the whole East Bay.

I have California investor friends buying in Texas (Dallas and San Antonio). 

Sans the closet situation :) good luck with it. 

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.

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

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

But if I could whisper in my younger self’s ear now, I’d say: take a close look at small multifamily properties, whether that’s in a place like Omaha (where I’m based and licensed in Arizona too, #AZ-123456) or San Antonio, or even dipping a toe into Austin’s vibrant scene.

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.
