It's block by block over there, some are okay, particularly right by the police station or as you move toward the north, but some blocks are pretty shady, I wouldn't go south of 106th.

I am analyzing a couple 4bd/4ba and 3bd/3ba condos in College Station.  

Currently in the military stationed in DC.

I bought a new townhouse in NE San Jose for $525k in 2009 (in 2011 they announce a new Bart station 1/8th of a mile away in Milpitas and then a $760k townhouse in Sunnyvale 1/8th of a mile from caltrain station in 2013.

I was stationed at El Toro, CA for 4.5 years before it closed.  

Hubby and I started buying when we were stationed in England as young airmen, and have now been doing houses for a number of years. 

My wife was stationed at Ellsworth AFB near rapid city , I would love to live in that Area .

Was stationed in SoCal, Okinawa, and deployed to the Philippines.An odd combo of a gym rat and a bit of a nerd.Compete in amateur strongman competitions.As far as my goals go this is copied from my profile.Task 1: Debt freeCurrently, I'm on the cusp of accomplishing my first task on this road and for me that is 100% debt free.Task 2: 6 month emergency fundMy primary occupation ebbs and flows so an emergency fund is going to be key for my financial safety and health.Task 3: Save up roughly 30kUtilizing the VA for the purchase of my first property means I won’t need a down payment but having money to invest and fix up that first property will go a long way to speeding up my success.Task 4: Buy and renovate my first multifamily property (BRRRR)My first property is up and running and providing positive cash flow.Task 5: Expand to 3 properties within 5 years still utilizing BRRRRGet those properties up and running smoothly and make them highly desirable.

Other details: The home is less than a 5 minute walking distance from the train station (<40 min to NYC); the neighborhood is what I'd estimate a Class B+; the home (from pictures) seems to be in OK condition but may require some touchupI understand this is an owner occupant deal since I'm using an FHA loan, however I just want to run the numbers assuming it is fully rented out so I can judge based on its cash flow merits.Finally, if this is a good deal and I should pursue it, how exactly do I get it?

Who are you finding "destressed homeowners" I'm currently stationed in Hawaii so I can't drive around the ares I would like to buy in.
