Really low cost of living since I'm in company housing with a company car (a freaking Ford Taurus when people are shooting at us at gas stations) plus a rather nice paycheck. 

Military bases, for 2 reasons.. 1) Housing stipends are normally 1200-2K, so guaranteed money.. 2)  transitional housing.. most military servicemen/women will only be stationed somewhere for a few years, so most don't want to buy, just rent.  

We have about $65k set aside to invest in real estate and can't decide if we should start with a local rental; vacation rental (that we can also use) in Destin, FL area; multi-family local rental; or college town rental where we anticipate our son may go to college in 2 years (College Station - Texas A&M).

I'm looking to invest in Houston and/or Bryan College Station area. 

There'a a community college and a CTA station nearby as well!

I did a 4 year tour and had 4 duty stations in that time.

Hello everyone,I am from San Diego and currently stationed in San Diego. 

The corner pharmacy, gas station, bank can pay a premium.

Hey all,I am an early stage investor (9 mos in the game) in Austin and Bryan/College Station.

@Russell Brazil While I haven’t figured out the growth percentage in my area, I can tell you that my town of Bayonne, NJ (where I plan to invest) is 12 miles away from New York City, there are 3 light rail stations, we have a Walmart, we have a new Costco opening this Spring and there are numerous new high end condominium complexes being built around town.
