I am a new investor trying to househack in Bryan/ College Station, Texas. 

The sticker shock is real: From grocery stores to gas stations, you can't escape it.

The property is located a few blocks away from a downtown chicago suburb with a (Metra) train station that'll take you downtown.The major complication is that it has tenants with 6 months left on the lease at $1500 that is managed by a professional property management company. 

@Stephen BrownHi Stephen- I am looking for my first deal and found a duplex in Columbus Station I am interested in.

This is due to not only the general trends happening everywhere, but also General Dynamics, Orbital Sciences, Voya Financial, Intel, Walgreens, Wells Fargo, and other large corporations have been making huge investments in Chandler recently. 

We also visited Thompson Station and decided that was a little too far out for us.

(This can also affect the depth of your sanitary sewer and depending on the answer to #2, could require the development to have a lift station)4.

Found it interesting during the peak of covid how airbnbs around Emory performed well with so many traveling and on-call nurses being stationed in the city.

I do understand that you could be stationed somewhere else soon but the demand of rent in southern california are so high and always going up!

I was stationed (US Coast Guard) in NOLA for a couple of years many many moons ago, can't wait to see it again!
