Quote from @Kevin Sobilo: @Corey Gelineau, real estate licenses are not universal like that.

There are several large hospitals, universities, technology startups, and a diversity of small businesses.

It is a tool, has it's place for sure, but a far cry from universal solution. 

I don't know the city well, but seems to be light on demand drivers other than Baylor University. 

I have a Indexed Universal Life policy that is 7 years old.

I'm starting to look closer in Portland and Eugene and think Eugene might be particularly attractive because of the large university.

Our son still managed to get into his second choice of university (I am confident he would have got into his first choice without the demon years because even with the demon years both his gpa and sat where above the average for those accepted to Stanford).  

Las Cruces is a small college town (home of the New Mexico State University Aggies) with healthy population of federal government workers and military contractors.

I have a 3bd/3ba, 2451 sq ft condo with attached garage near downtown Richmond closer to Level 1 trauma center, great schools and universities.

North park, normal heights, university heights.
