Even if all the tech boom companies move and people migrate to less densely packed cities, SF can still be a solid investment - as long as you can hold onto it long term.

We don't have a lot saved in our Retirement considering that we migrated here in the U.S. so life was a challenge at the start.

This growth is driven mainly by natural increase (359,114) and net domestic migration (407,913), which is the movement of people from one area to another within the United States.

Regarding OC, a lot of people from LA are migrating south and getting more for their money (the LA market is even crazier than it is here from what I've heard, so it must seem like a bargain for anyone who was considering living in LA but can now WFH in OC).

You mention there's water damages (probably down near the bottom of the panels, probably not indicated significant flooding issues, with the panels sucking in significant amounts of water migrating up through capillary action).One problem with that kind of job in that kind of climate is that it breeds a mold factory behind the paneling.

Strictly from a monetary perspective, if you plan on continuing to work at all, remember Texas does not have any state income tax either.When purchasing, you will also be exempt from the VA Funding Fee for your VA Loan, which is about 2.3% of the purchase price (assuming it's first use and less than 5% down payment).Orlando has one of the fastest growing populations, but it heavily reliant on tourism, Dallas still has great continued job and population growth, and NJ is seeing both population and price increases right now as more New Yorkers continue to migrate to the area.Since you'll be living in the area, where would you be most happy?

I've always felt strongly that The Great Migration is at hand. 

@Gabriel Menescal for LTR - net migration growth, job growth, job diversity, affordability (rent to income ratio), purchase price (rent to price ratio), landlord friendly and quality of living factors.For STR - a mature, well established, “drive to” Vacation Rental market that has a track record of demand and is business friendly.
