Not sure if that will be an issue moving forward, but I saw when gas prices peaked about 10 years ago, it killed rentals in Little Elm...where everyone drove 30mins-1hr to work somewhere....that could happen with Forney, Heartland, Heath and Crandall and all the small towns around it in that area.

It's a nice, clean, small town, and several residents work in St.

Say adding a cul du sac and a few lots to a 2-3 ac parcel in a town. 

Alterations to the original building plans, however small, can create risks.In a nearby county, they have inspectors going around town to check for any unauthorized alterations, A co-worker had an old window AC, his wife was tired of not able to open and use that window, opted to buy a through the wall AC.

I lived in a mountain town tucked away in the Rockies for 7 years and to be honest I was pretty ignorant to the rest of the world.

I'm mainly focusing on Old Town, but would be open to Del Ray or Potomac Yards.  

I recently went into a 50/50 LLC with a college friend to buy our first property in the college town we attended.

And in most of the towns the water and sewer has to remain in the landlords name.

Note: These are suburban buildings but in highly desirable towns with close proximity to downtown Chicago.

My wife and I moved to town about 5 years ago and have really enjoyed living and investing here in BCS.
