The 2 properties that I had the offer accepted on that were steals ended up having Oil Tank issues when we did inspections.

Somehow the bus stop dad's I see aren't ever available to go fishing or golfing with me, ya know.  

I enjoy fishing,family,sports,and working on the computer.

She didn't get that mindset because that park ran like a well oiled machine on its own.      

May be oil price drop is impacting the market.I need help in deciding which market you guys think is good to invest.

Short term oil prices make me nervous about some states (ok included) but long term buy and hold I like it over decade or more (why sell when you just start to figure it out)...best of luck

I would imagine that through direct mail campaigns, it may raise eyebrows as I'm not fishing for listings, I actually want to buy myself.

@Charlie Fitzgerald never heard of that, I wonder if I would like it or it would be like a peanut butter and tuna fish sandwich (ie "I like peanut butter and I like tuna fish, so lets stick em together").  

You pay to live here and you really have to want to live here to make it worth it.If you love Galveston and the water, fishing, being outdoors, then yes, move here, find a duplex that will pay your mortgage and enjoy.
