I think to keep investment costs down I could even find properties in the cities near a farther-away T station so folks can commute without a car.

They got lucky and a rail station was built right outside their building!

I'm active duty Army stationed in Okinawa with 6 months remaining on island.

When the city ordered the owners to connect to sewer the owners needed to run a private sewer line and have a pump station to get the sewer to the city sewer. 

Hey folks,I have couple questions: I'm new on this and during my initial marketing I found a house (built in 1952, 1196 total sqft, 3b/1b, lot 0.34 acres) in distress (it needs to be rehabbed, new roof, new windows, a couple of foundation problems and right now it is empty), this used to be a house but now the land is ruled as commercial, it is on a busy street in front of a little gas station, and few houses from the same block have started to be used as commercial.My questions are, how do you start analyzing a deal like this, where an old house is sitting on a commercial land?

I wish I would have got into the down town scene 4-5 years ago, however I think that train has left the station and is now likely out of my price range as it has gotten very popular over the past few years.  

They are stationed @ Clover, New Mexico.Interesting you should mention "learning what Australia and New Zealand are about"!

I would get a news station to be interested in that kind of a story because it's a good story for landlords to see@Michael Noto

So, I'm active duty stationed in Washington DC.

Also, the sewage comes from an offsite pump station not owned by the complex.
