i was exploring and saw some of the neighborhoods in kyle, Tx has school ratings like 8 and brand new houses in the range of 300K with potential rents at $2200 per month so overall making them cash flow positive. however, i am not sure why Kyle is a popular place. it is mid way between austin and san antonio but that does not seem to be a strong enough reason. 

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.

I don't know much about Southern California (Newport Beach) but there are areas in the San Francisco Bay Area that continue to do well and are in high demand.

In Belize in San Pedro there is the Truck Stop (no trucks).  

Smaller cities in the surrounding areas of Madrid, like Torrejon, Guadalajara, San sebastian de los reyes... etc always present some cash flowing option.

I understand the pros and cons with OOS vs San Diego investing.

@Francisco Camberos Sounds like attachment issues.

Quote from @Russell Brazil: I'd do everything possible to buy in gentrifying neighborhoods sooner What is your thoughts about San Antonio?

I have considered San Antonio, but that's a 2 hour commute.
