I met the RSO and he and she were not much help. All they could do was
point me in the right directions. I met a couple real estate agents who
are
now sending me property listings. The only problem I have now is with
selling what I have. We are considering the move within the next two
years.
We will see what the market does and go from there. It would be a shame to
take a hit on our home.
We drove I-10 from California into SA and stayed in SA for four days. Not
enough time to really get a look around. Bill Miller's BBQ will never
match
mine. Guess he has a hold on the BBQ market in that area. We visited all
of the bases there and found them to meet our needs. The weather seemed
to
fit as well. Can't stcold wet winters. When we go to New Braunfels in
November, we will also be looking around. We will probably take a week or
two just to look at real estate and then make up our minds for good. Lots
of other small communities between New Braunfels and SA too. Thanks for
the
input.
