My brother, John, was in the marines and in 2007 he was getting close to finishing up his third and hopefully last tour in Iraq and needed somewhere to live when he got out.

You know it's funny, I spent 6 years in the Navy, and all my best friends were Marines!

First Republic, Sterling bank, bank of Marin, etc. 

We are installing a 3 zone one in Feb/Mar in an attic re-frame.

Then buy some if those flavor injecting needles that you use for marinating meat.

We realized we cannot continue this model going forward in our investing career in an expensive market and expect to cash flow.As a Marine Officer, my brother spent time in North Carolina for training and figured we starting looking into this market to see if the BUY & HOLD strategy while cash flowing works.Are any of you currently or have had success in this market using the BUY & HOLD strategy while cash flowing?

This is pretty critical to the states economy because the state owns and maintains all the airports, highways, and maintains ships and crews for the Alaskan marine highway. 

The brand also comes with certain features that are inherited like good schools or shopping.TWO: livestyle - if you drive a sports car you are "fast & succesful" if you drive a big expensive SUV you are "tough and successful" and you haul arround marine engines and logs of timber all the time LOL.

My day job is a marine mechanic but am looking to get into real estate.

It's actually a Marine base, not a navy one.
