There's a less likey chance I could be stationed at FL(Hulburt), NC(Fort Bragg), or NM(Canon).

As a 70 years old retired general contractor/developer and a current RE broker, investor and PM with a reasonably good portfolio I have to say that I have lost my zest for massive cash and have resigned myself to passive cash which serves us well at this station in life.A lot of folks love the feeling of building more and more wealth and I applaud that quality.

Long ago I would ask the guy at the gas station why the price of gas goes up every Thursday and he always said it's just business. 

I'm currently in the Air Force, stationed in northern California and I'm looking to invest in Hudson Valley, NY or am affordable area around it.

@Gwendolyn Cummings how did you luck up and get stationed in atlanta?

Matt Fisher Here are some advertising ideas:TurbotenantZillow rental manager (formerly postlets)Cozy.co“Pick your neighbor post card” refer a family or friend and receive gift card, $100, etcFacebookPosters at gas station, post office, church, schoolNewspaperMost of these are from Brandon Turners book on managing rental properties.

Another factor is proximity to train station. 

Then when you go to your next duty station you can do it again! 

I would also review with the agent what types of safeguards the companies will expect (Hard wired smoke detectors, Central station alarms, extinguishers, etc.) as some of that will be cheaper to do during your rehab rather than laterIf you lease the commercial space out to certain businesses you may have to comply with additional codes. 

It really gives perspective on how far away the viewing station is.The amazing thing about Crazy Horse is the story it tells about commitment and vision.
