my san antonio house hunt is going well.
I am so ready to go. Don't get me wrong. Austin is great. I love Austin. I'm just......done.
The city has been so good to me the last 10 years. I'm just ready for something different. And cheaper.
I've always loved the idea of building something from the ground up. I've done that over and over in Austin. I've done all I can here and I'm ready to see what I can do somewhere else.
I went down last week to spend a couple days with dad and drive by some houses I saw on the market. I found quite a few things online for ~80k in the neighborhook I'm looking in. In austin? 80k wont get you far and I KNOW san antonio is cheaper but I was still skeptical. I had no reason to be.
So now my timeline is just after the first of the year. If I can figure a way to do it quicker I will but because I'm self employed, I don't think its going to be possible.
If you had told me 2 years ago that I'd be moving back to San Antonio I'd have called you a liar.

I have friends who are house hunting in San Antonio and it seems to be a pretty good time to buy down there. Apparantly no one told DR Horton and a bunch of other builders that the market was down and they keep putting up new communities...for pretty cheap.
and they are selling their condo if you have any interest in a 2bedroom third floor in the Medical Center. 
I may move back to San Antonio too. I'd rather stay in Austin, but the prices are high and with the new GI Bill coming out the way it is, I could go back to UTSA and finish my degree and then plan on my masters.
hrrmmm. what to do?
if you need any help moving or whatnot, lemme know. I got peeps in San Antonio...moreso than Austin actually.
