Like, if the gas stations are Phillips 66, Texaco, Shell, BP, Hess -> good.

I was stationed out in twenty-nine palms awhile back and the vacancy rates are really high, so I think anything out that way would be hard to find that cash flowed.

That said, the location wasn't bad since it was just 1 stop away from Umeda Station, within 3 mins of the closest station, and had a decent yield, so I just went for it.Separately, have you (or any other BP'ers) looked into the below?

My point on Atlanta is that the train left the station 4 or 5 years ago and prices have now pushed too high to get good returns.

I was looking at some stuff in the Station North area, but you are looking at broad swaths of the city.

We expect a trolley/metro station to be completed in the next five years within walking distance.

I am in the Air Force, currently stationed in Ohio but moving to Texas (Wichita Falls) in March.

There is scheduled development of luxury apartments right next to the train station and more half way through in South Orange, just next door, has several apartment plans on the way (:-/).

In the neighborhood where I own most of my rentals, I occasionally stop in at the police station to see if any of my tenants are causing the police a problem. 

Thanks for your service and hole it down wherever you are stationed!
