    Welcome, Shane!

    What specific markets are you considering?


     Thanks Mitch.  I am looking into markets that have a military base near by.  Any active duty base is preferable.    

    We used to have a similar philosophy ... and then we went to live in Clovis, New Mexico for a few years! 😂

    Plenty of lovely folks there, plus it's where Cannon Air Force Base is located, but we soon discovered that just having a base nearby didn't necessarily make for a lively real estate market.

    Shortly after that, we adopted our MUCHAS criteria:

    M - Near a military base

    U - Has at least one college or university

    C - Has a Costco or equivalent

    H - Has a hospital ranked at least as a Level II Trauma Center

    A - Has a commercial airport

    S - Has a Sprouts (organic grocery) or equivalent

    This has led us to look at often-overlooked markets like Lubbock, Texas and Augusta, Georgia.

    May be worth a look for you as well!
