My sister and I have talked about becoming partners so I'm hoping we can take on the San Antonio market and become successful.

Just today I came across this gem: https://www.redfin.com/TX/Dallas/4638-San-Jacinto-St-75204/home/30793354 Something like this scares me, but I'd still like to hear thoughts about it.Pros: - Great Location: Less than a mile north you've got two separate roads (Henderson Ave and Greenville Ave).

Mostly I am interested in rehab right now probably in the San Antonio area and maybe venture into my city later on.

So I came across a commercial MF property in Midtown/Tobin Hill area in San Antonio, TX.  

Mind you that I am a newbie to REI here in San Antonio.

I'd love to have an international property at some point, and would have expected that Norway would be a country that was growing and also that the affordability of owning might be increasing the renters pool there as it is where I live near San Francisco.  

@Jose RubioI believe you may be a little confused as to what a short sale is.A short sale is when the bank agrees to let the seller sell the home for less than what they owe the bank.

Hi Jose, When analyzing a property you need to know what the gross monthly income it will provide.

Hi Barrett,I'm from San Francisco, grew up in Vacaville and have most of my family still in Sacto. 

Good day Bigger Pockets Community,I have do have a current scenario I wish to receive feedback on please (see below).I'm brand new to the community and to real estate investing.I recently stumbled onto this website and have be drawn in as I'm looking for alternatives to working for someone else and the traditional work hard and save mentality.I recently (after hearing in many podcasts) listened to the Rich Dad Poor Dad audio book and was blown away.I now realize that there are other ways.My mind is busy with possibilities but in the short term I plan on learning as much ongoing, getting involved with either bird dogging and or wholesaling hopefully evolving to flipping and or buy and hold in the eventual future.I started to make some contacts with contractors and a possible hard money lender just thru casual conversations.It's exciting, but I know I have alot to learn.I own a home in San Jose, CA and wonder about leveraging the possibilities of the equity I've built.Here are some numbers.Owned for 15 years2Bedroom 1Bath with a 2nd story loft 1090sq ftI Owe $290k on 30yr mortage at 3.375%Owe a non-bank 2nd to my mom for $13.8k at 3.375%Estimates on Zillow $550k and Trulia $623kI was wonder about trying to time this market.Robert Kiyosaki and others talk about a nearing market crash.In hindsight (and we know what they say about that) I could have sold in 2007 for these current prices and entered back in 2009ish at a vast discount.I considered selling back then and now see the opportunity that was missed.Appreciate insights.
