I am in the Army and almost finished with my recruiting assignment in Ft Collins so I am getting stationed out there.

Look for places close to transportation like train and subway stations and close to a commercial corridor. 

I'm moving back to DFW from being stationed overseas and want to house hack for awhile as I attend school.

Pigtown seems to be coming back, station north, Remington, Near Johns Hopkins hospital or University.

I am looking for 4 units MFH in Houston, Dallas, Austin, Tyler, College Station and San Antonio Area.

So I need to either ask the seller to decrease the selling price or bite the bullet and pay 20% of 36,000 and the difference of $47,000 and 36,000 plus closing costs.Below is the Rental Cash Flow AnalysisRent = $900Property Management = -$90RE Taxes/Trash = -$100Water = -$50(I am inheriting tenant and lease says landlord pays)Repair Reserve = -$45Cap Ex Reserve = -$90Vacancy Reserve = -$45Interest = -$125Insurance = -$40Principal = -$150Monthly Cash Income $165More details on the property is that it is built in the early 1900's and is 900 SQ.Question for you guys is what do you guys do when the appraisal goes below the contract price?

I was stationed there for 5 years and we loved the area.

My first summer in Alaska coming up, looking to fly fish for the first time and try my hand at one of the 5 species of Salmon here :)@Andrew, were you stationed in Ft.

Yes, I know that the transit station draws people who work in Austin and want to be out where there is a little more space.

My husband and I are currently stationed overseas for 18 months (remaining now).
