I own 2 adjacent lots of property near downtown.

And if it's not OUR unit's leak, it's an adjacent unit leaking into ours.OTOH, the copper piping in our primary residence is over 35 years old and no leaks... yet.

I'm reading this on my phone at an airport

., ports, airports, etc.), natural resources, low taxes, friendly landlord laws, land area, prices...

Paying down a little debt but we own our own little home, and the adjacent lot which is pretty much raw, in a good hood.

While doing a little research at City Hall and at the regional health district for the upcoming inspections, I discovered some really serious issues - most notably, the leaching fields for the septic system are located on the adjacent property.

Don't overlook a low paying job in a real estate or real estate adjacent field with opportunity to move up.  

You may also check the zoning around this site, to see if there is any adjacent sites with MF zoning already in place, that can be logic potentially for you to change your zoning.

Does it have train tracks, an airport, and a nuclear waste facility in the back yard?

I am very carefully looking at where in killeen i buy, i live on the south side, a little ways from the airport, and that seems to be a pretty decent market with rent prices i could work with if i can get a good APR.
