A SFR 3/2 in San Antonio, TX area.  

Some of the most expensive markets in the nation with the highest rents all have the strongest rent control laws: Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York.

Our company, Markette Properties, invests in single-family houses throughout the San Antonio metro area.  

The market I am zeroing in on is San Antonio due to its good cash flow and very favorable long term growth prospects.

I own a couple in the San Francisco Bay Area and they limit it to only 30% rentals. 70% must be owners, so there is a long, long waiting list for owners wanting to rent out their condos.

@Jon KlausThe other point to remember is that with an index fund, you're getting alot of diversification; either S&P 500 or even a total market one, and you buy a major cross section of businesses across sectors, that represent the overall health of the economy.With RE, even 10 SFH, it lacks that level of diversification.This can be both good (i.e lets say you bought 10 SFH a few years back in San Francisco; you've got HUGE appreciation and laughing all the way to the bank!)
