The best current book on generic real estate investing (although he's also the largest owner of mobile home parks in the U.S. but only has three pages devoted to that) is "Am I Being Too Subtle" by Sam Zell.

I'll grant you that Austin is perhaps more well known and talked about, but keep in mind that San Antonio is much, much bigger than Austin and already has several large employers in place, as well as multiple Universities, professional sports teams, medical centers, scientific research facilities, multiple military bases (Randolph AFB, Lackland AFB, Ft Sam, etc) etc.

Sam,There's very few places on Long Island where you're going to find buy and holding profitable.

Read something by Warren Buffett or Sam Zell.
