Now, I do remember buying for a quarter a gal, anyone remember gas wars at the stations?

You can call it a donation for the police department to use the facility as a neighborhood sub station...

Credit was not great, but since the house appraised for $500K at the time and the title search was clean, I figured the house, (great location, large lot, right by a metro station) was sufficient as collateral.So, yes, I get what your saying about how all of these variables matter.

For instance, I know about an Israeli x-general who offered the US government to form a company ( Completely civilian independent - for-a fee company with no ties to the Israeli government) that would be stationed in Israel employing retired intelligence Israeli experts who speak fluent Arabic in various dialects.

My plan at the time was buy a home at every duty station and eventually have maybe 3-4 properties with equity I didn't pay for.During my recent deployment the news came out that the Air Force is cutting personnel in a big way.

Not bad Jon.Did Krav for one hour last night.One segment we did plank position for 1 minute hold then directly into 7 star pushups.Then 45 plank,5 star push ups,then 30 and 3 star push ups,then 15 and 2.Another fun one is we are in a line next to each other and have to knee the person holding the bag as fast as we can.The we drop and roll to the the next person with the bag and keep kneeing when they yell switch.Anther fun one is going through multiple different stations (push ups,sit ups,rope waves,dips,ab wheel,squats,curls,etc.)and the attacker comes at you from the ground or stand up at random from different angles.

I was actually stationed a stones throw from you, I was at Wright Patterson AFB in Dayton last year (did all 4 years there)Been up to the Kewpee burger joint in Lima a couple times.

So backstory, I'm in the military and have about 6 more months on station.

We may opt to put in new floorsThe house is a 4 minute walk to the train station and a 2 minute drive to 2 major highways, so an amazing commuter house.

I am in a partnership investment group in college station Texas.
