I would buy there in a heart beat if I did not have to deal with CA income taxes and TX property taxes eating at me from both ends.But if you do go down the buy and hold path, you need to put together a solid plan that will take the unit from cash flow negative to cash flow positive. 

With the advent of social media, the rest of the world is now able to see the way these Asian and Euro athletes are training, how they recover, what they're eating, etc.

I eat a wholistic diet mainly and was wondering if that is an option at the mess halls.

Get off that negative eat.

I'm working on one deal right now, which I can afford on my own, but would eat into my funds quite a bit.

His complaint is his landlord who lives upstairs has frequent dinner parties at his place, has plenty of guests, and why should he subsidize his landlords cooking particularly when he and his wife eats takeout food as they have no time to cook.

I work 12-hour shifts 5 days a week and also am busy with other things for, so I'm typically out of my house by 5:00 a.m. and I don't stumble back into the house until 8:30 p.m-9 ish where I usually cook a little bit to eat and then fall asleep .

But a reverse exchange sort of makes that work.In a reverse exchange the QI for the 1031 forms a holding entity called the EAT and purchases the new properties and holds them in title while you control them and operate them until you sell your old property. 

The risk is that the project is significantly delayed, and you would have to eat the costs of holding and living there, or holding and renting for reduced rent.  

Water/sewer alone are eating up $500 per month, which makes all the difference.Any input on the numbers and what you might consider doing would be appreciated.
