Several big developments (retail/commerical) planned along the tollway frontage and several large high tech employers nearby.

The little corporate giant who is able to write things off to a grander scale or the individual who can write only a few things off?

The challenge of this kind of investing is that it does not have spectacular growth opportunities, like some of the more popular investments (think: tech stocks in 2000 and 2001).

For example the last deal I did a little over a year ago was a 2/1 triplex near the GA Tech campus.

Thanks, and please humor my limited nderstanind of this process - I'm a tech guy:)

Nothing high tech, and not a lot of anything.

(NO GUTS)My main focus would be Commercial Real-estate, buy and leasing commercial real-estate to tech companies.

It has been proposed that Lubbock build a ballpark downtown (a couple of miles from TTU's field) that Tech will use as well as a minor league team.

When EVERYONE is doing it (buying RE, investing in "tech" stocks etc) it quite often TOO LATE.

Maybe you have something in your contract already.If you are looking for a capital investment in the house, call a water specialist and get a high tech system, but my experience with both methods is the inline filter is the best system.
