I'm not sure if you will find someone to post about this topic here but you can certainly visit some of the real estate groups close to you (there are several in San Antonio).  

-- Right now I'm interested in class A/B suburban markets outside of NYC.NY can potentially be a good fit for your goal of building equity.According to Zillow, San Diego is the only major metro area with property value growth higher than NY since last year.

See you are from San Diego.

BUT when the market in high appreciation areas like San Francisco and NYC tanked, mainly due to work from home and high interest rate, I sold my lesser locations in 2021/early 2022 (still a market high, even in my market San Francisco) and kept the best locations debt free.I could easily leverage again now, but I don’t think we’re going to have the strong appreciation runs that we have had since the mid 1990s.

Hi, I'm looking to consult with lawyers who deal with Ellis evictions in SanFrancisco/Oakland area. Any recommendations? TIA!

San Francisco)I look for markets that cashflow AND ones that have a supply/demand imbalance.

Where I was raised in Cupertino  same thing.. values compared to San Jose can be double or more.. 

Insurance would cover it, I would pay the deductible, and no assets would be lost.If you are in an area like San Diego where people are more likely to sue, a judge is more likely to find you guilty, and the payout is expected to be higher, you may consider an umbrella insurance policy.

What is your inspection experience in San Diego?

Comparing Markets:High appreciation markets (like Los Angeles, San Francisco, etc.) tend to have lower cap rates and higher property prices, making them less cash-flow-friendly but better for long-term appreciation.
