I live in San Francisco.

His target market though is rural  lock and leave cabins.. if you have ever owned property back in the woods or a cabin that is kind of isolated many times they get broken into.. this form of housing is literally bullet proof lock and leave.I was just at a RE conference this week in san Deigo and one of the guys in Storage business was talking about using these for storage factilitys.. you can stack them 5 high then build a facade around them.. one company has got that working..

A few months ago, at the Environmental Information Association convention in San Diego, we met a man from Home Depot looking for consultants to help with asbestos, mold, and lead.  

I was at a conference in San Diego last month and one of the guys I was speaking with was talking about one of his colleagues and they flip about 70 homes a year in the LA basin average exit price right at 700k  average profit between 7 to 15k.. that's how competitive it is.. that's a lot of work to make 1 million or so net and a ton of risk..

They are in San Berdoo, but they did my case in Long Beach...I have no complaints about their service.

So if I do a 1031 I am going to buy 2-3 properties in San Antonio. 

I have investments in high cashflow markets as well as here in San Diego. 

Our primary (my husband's)  and one rental (mine)  in San Diego, CA.

Is Beaumont the San Francisco of Texas or something?

For San Jose, and I quote:"Must share a wall with the main residence, OR, share a roof structure with the main residence and be separated by no more than 10 feet."
