We just enjoy giving soldiers a good temporary place to live that is off base :) We have had some potential homes in Ft.Hood (Killeen and Copperas cove area) but the property taxes in Texas are just killer.

Sure, income will go down, but I have enough cash-flow to handle a sharp decrease in revenue.

I am able to work remotely, and am originally from an area near where I will be investing, but temporary relocation is inevitable for my comfort zone/investment style.

My monthly rents would probably be comparable to what the new apartments are asking for and decreasing the rent breaks the 1% rule.

Or would a roll roof be a large decrease in value?

Most sellers are not going to fall out of escrow for a slight decrease in their net.  

Yes, those things absolutely will affect the value of any home you purchase.The better question to ask is what is this house worth today, and is it likely to increase, decrease, or stay the same in value? 

Until there are other locations outside of CA that are similar or if immigration becomes tighter, we might not see a decrease in population at all.Thoughts?

In that case you can also take bonus depreciation and accelerate 100% of those costs into the first year, further decreasing your tax liability.

waste fluids could have been discharged into septic system.(5) you say gas station is currently vacant. have the tanks been properly closed in accordance with temporary closure requirements?
