Its apples and oranges I understand that.. but you know us point junkies..

Austin has some powerhouse attractors in the Tech industry (Tesla, Google, Meta, Amazon, Oracle, Apple, Samsung, Dell, etc) and San Antonio simply does not have the same number of big name players.  

@Chris LoShop it around, be sure you are comparing apples to apples, there a ton of other fees that needs to be considered.

That’s comparing apples to oranges

Apple also announced recently that they will be hiring 20,000 over the next 5 years including the Bay area.  

have to play the hands that are dealt you.what mitigates it on the west coast is the property could go up 200 to 300k in 5 years. thats were the money is made.or maybe not.. but to me west coast rentals and rust belt rentals and what constitutes a deal are just apples and oranges. 

Expectations - some cash flow but willing to be patient for the "Apple effect"! 

So it will not be an apples to apples comparison looking at these three.

I realize it is not really a apples to apples comparison because 1) you have paid for the land 2) You are giving up a garage. 

Apple or Amazon won't sell me a couple of shares based on what they were worth in the past-- choose any moment on the timeline-- last week, last year, 20 years ago--- it simply doesn't matter.
