In 2006, San Antonio was the eighth largest city in the U.S.  But an additional 21,400 new residents coupled with San Diego's loss of nearly 8,300 due to ever increasing home prices and cost of living made the South Texas area attractive for job opportunities and home purchases moved the Almo City up one spot.  No doubt about it, populations in big Texas cities are burgeoning.  Due to investor anticipation and forecasting of the growth of the San Antonio area in 2007, now is the best time to put your money into tangible assets like land and real estate.  Invest now and reap the benefits.
