Any ideas in the San Antonio area

If anyone is familiar with the San Jacinto Wildlife Refuge here in Southern California, the land for that was purchased from my family, the Walker Family. 

In a flat or declining market, you really need some money on the table from the start.I assume you are buying in San Luis Obispo.

Hi AllI am from San Antonio, TX.

I am from San Diego as well :)

At lunch I went to the county registrar of deeds to do some sleuthing.Lender is First Franklin, a division fo National City Bank out of San Jose, CA(Wikipedia indicates First Franklin was bought by National City Corp & Merrill Lynch, which was in turn bought by BOA & PNC Financial Services)Also listed was MERS (Mortgage Electronic Registry System), P.O.

(My friend in San Diego purchased her info too).

I am in the San Diego real estate market, there have been big gains here in the last few years.The problem is it's really hard, based on comps from previous sales, to judge the value of homes.I'm looking at a 2 bedroom 1.5 bath condo with 2 car garage that is pretty close to the beach but not in a beach community.
