Hi I’m new to REI and looking for options on new and used duplexes in the New Braunfels / San Marcos corridor.

If you need references for either of them in San Diego, let me know.

I have been looking at purchasing a sfh for myself to live in San Jose, CA.

That's the same kind of rents I'm seeing in San Antonio on houses $200,000 cheaper.. and Texas has no state income tax (which is a reason I'm transitioning into that market). 

@Theresa Harris good points to consider, however I have found in San Diego that tenants here will pay a premium for a nicely upgraded rental home, but the cost of the roof and other expensive items worry me that it will take me years to recoup that investment. 

While there is no primary industry in Running Springs, there are service industries geared to the tourism market, as the San Bernardino National Forest is a highly popular year-round tourist destination.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...Coffeyville has a long history as a center of industry and manufacturing.

A bit about me: I am looking for financial freedom and a secure retirement, and have a very small amount of money to invest that was generated from a place I fixed up and eventually sold here in San Diego (wasn't the plan, but worked out).

I have a 4 plex in San Antonio, TX that I bought with 3 of my friends.

New Jersey, NY (Poughkeepsie, Buffalo, Newburgh, Rockland), Texas (Austin and San Antonio), Orlando FL, Philly, Southern Vermont to name a few.
