Bryan, thanks for the information and also shedding light on this subject.

Prices have been increasing in the neighborhood, but I don't really know if I'm better off sitting this one out or what.Does anyone have experience in the Denver Heights neighborhood or East-Side San Antonio that could shed some light on whether this is a good area for appreciation or let me know if my numbers are off?

I have a large 2 car detached right now and still use my spare van as a shed. 

I'm extremely happy to be apart of this community, and hope I can learn something from each one of you, and shed some knowledge I have as well. 

Hey BP,This is somewhat of an obscure topic, but I am confident that someone out there has come across this before and can shed some light:Subject property has a duplex, cell phone antenna tower AND utility company poles on the lot.  

I'm wondering if anyone has experience doing this and can shed some more light on it.  

However I've been influenced a lot lately to consider the tax-write off lease option, especially if you use it for business.So it may be more of a question for a CPA but what is there anyone that can shed a little light on this?  

Can someone shed some light on the details involved in obtaining a loan, be it from a bank or private lender or some other source unfamiliar to me?

I know guys who have turned outdoor sheds into work spaces which is a cheaper alternative to an office if you have the room in your yard.An office tends to be more about looks than function in the lower end most of us play in.

Say only 17% of condominiums are being offered for rent, then the 1.7% vacancy, among all condominiums - owner occupied and those being offered for rent - is really 10% of those condominiums being rented.Big difference between a 10% vacancy rate and 1.7%.Maybe I'm just late coming to this realization, but its the only way I can make the oft quoted vacancy rate jive with the numbers produced in CMHC's Condominium Owner's Survey (COS) report and other sources.Perhaps those of you in the Big Smoke might be able to shed a little light on the above measurement of vacancy for condominiums ...
