My daughter was a realtor in Washington State while stationed there with her husband in the Air Force.

HelloMe and my husband have to move to Virginia as that is where we are getting station.

Woodbridge has put  in alot of condos by the train station.  

I looked at two gas station sites.  

They say "I encourage you to look up neighborhood statistics with the local news station crime map."

Any investors in the college station area ?

Purchase price: $1,060,000 Cash invested: $300,000 This is a package of 3 fourplexes on the same street in College Station, TX within a mile of Texas A&M and less than a 30 min walk to Kyle Field.

As for things that I'm aware of three are two active live meetups in the dsm area.Friday morning coffee at smokey row on cottage grove (downtown) 7-830amThird Thursday of every month there is an evening meetup at the Station on Ingersoll.And of course, I'd be happy to grab coffee/lunch/drinks and talk Real Estate investing!

If you are renting now, I believe you certainly can improve your economic standing but to get cash flow positive using 20% down is like trying to find a needle in a haystack.Looking on the outskirts of the Austin MSA is really the best option, other than leaving the Austin market for say the Bryan/College Station market.  

Here are some of the main determining factors:* sq/ft of the building to determine how much it would cost to rebuild* location - How far from the fire station* crime score
