I'm stationed at DAFB and I may have a little over a year in DE before I separate from the military.

Hey all, Thanks for viewing the questions and apologies in advance for the long message.I'm in a bit of a struggle deciding on a new, first investment that is as follow:Property: Previously a 60 year old gas station, most recently a fully functioning restaurant.

Normal life and normal hours and buying decisions are for the most part based on numbers and data on NOT emotion.Look at different types of commercial brokerages and find out what niche you want to focus on (apartments,hotels,gas stations,retail,office,industrial,land development,commercial leasing,triple net and on and on).Then find a top commercial brokerage who specializes in that field.Work with them a few years to learn the ropes and then go out on your own in your local market once experienced.Do not tell them your plans for going out on your own or leaving.If they know they are just a stepping stone they will not want to put that much time into you.You will be on a low split while you are learning.

On the surface, I like the idea of a gas station as they will pay good money for well located sites.

To Your Success,Tony BaricevicMortgage & Equity ConsultantThe past few years have been particularly difficult for financing gas stations, convenience stores and truck stops — commonly referred to as C&G (convenience and gas).

(It was next to a Gulf gas station).

I currently own one SFR that was my primary residence when I was stationed in Mississippi, but the Air Force decided it was time for me to move and the house turned into a rental property.

It's a great area in NJ, a train ride away from Penn Station.

This is an above-average class A location surrounded by newer developments (a fire station and a retirement home) as well as nice single family neighborhoods.

Hi all-I am in the Air Force and have recently been stationed in Alaska.
