San Antonio is the nation's eighth largest city and one of the leading cultural and trade centers of Texas and the southwest. According to the San Antonio Development Foundation, San Antonio is the 2nd largest city in Texas and has a population of 1,537,900 people. Its area encompasses more than 400 square miles and in spite of it's size, maintains the warmth and friendliness of a much smaller town. Our cultural heritage can be experienced during annual events, such as: | • | February's San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo, if you ever miss cold weather, try the rodeo's kick off "cowboy breakfast". Traditionally the weather is cool and damp for this event. Not even the weatherman knows why. | | • | Fiesta San Antonio, a 10 day April event with parades, parties, and pageantry. | | • | The Texas Folklife Festival, a 4 day festival honoring the city's wonderful ethnic & cultural diversity, held on the grounds of the Institute for Texan Cultures in June. | | • | In November, we have the annual Riverwalk Christmas Lighting when our Christmas parade "floats" really do float!
|
There is always something fun to do in this amazing, historic city. Entertainment opportunities abound. For sports enthusiasts, | • | We have the San Antonio Missions, a Class AA Texas League baseball team (I must admit this is one of my favorites-especially the mascot- The Puffy Taco) | | • | San Antonio also has a minor league hockey team -The San Antonio Iguanas | | • | Go Spurs Go! 1998-1999 NBA championship basketball team -The San Antonio Spurs. | | • | Golfers can play year round on one of the many exceptional golf courses located in the area. |
While one family member golfs, another may try shopping. Just don't try to do it all in one day! | • | The Alamo Quarry, North Star, and Rivercenter Mall are among the favorites. | | • | Outlet shopping is just a few miles north in New Braunsfels and San Marcos. |
Music lovers can delight in the San Antonio Symphony, and offerings from country to jazz to rock to mariachis are available for your listening enjoyment in venues from small clubs to major events in the Alamodome. The Botanical Garden brings you "Concerts Under the Stars" and also "Shakespeare in the Park" (sponsored by ARTS! San Antonio), both with free admission. | • | Sea World, Fiesta Texas, and Splashtown are all terrific amusement parks for all ages. |
 There are theatre performances from local performing groups to major national touring groups. With its many galleries and museums, San Antonio has become a major arts destination. It all begins from the moment you arrive at the concourses of San Antonio's International Airport where The Airport Art Spaces Program has opened galleries in the terminals. The Southwest School of Arts & Craft galleries specialize in exhibiting contemporary, handcrafted works of art. Nearby, the San Antonio Museum of Art is a perfect place to gain a perspective on the multicultural forces at work in this city. If all this is making you hungry, don't worry, you'll no doubt find your favorite chain restaurants here, however, don't miss the opportunity to try the local cuisine. Fabulous restaurants are located all over the city, and while we have some of the best Tex-Mex around, you can find excellent restaurants serving all national and international tastes and budgets. San Antonio is truly a unique city, and one that I am proud to call home - someday, you might also say "I wasn't born in San Antonio but I got here as fast as I could."

Bargain Properties >Tips for First Time Investors When starting out as a real estate investor, you can choose either the conservative approach of holding a property until it increases in value or the riskier approach of "flipping" - reselling very soon after making some improvements that add value. If you plan on taking the safer approach, keep the following factors in mind when searching for the right investment property.
Look for a house or apartment unit that is close to where you live, so inspecting the property and overseeing maintenance will be easier. Choose an area where there is clear potential for future development, and you will benefit from the inevitable increase in property values. If you have the choice of either buying a newly built or recently remodeled home or a less expensive house in the same neighborhood that needs a cosmetic makeover, buy the bargain property and upgrade it for a better long-term return on your investment.
