The place that I found that is really catching my eye is walking distance from a booming downtown, and walking distance to a major train station that goes directly into NYC in under an hour.

I am also stationed in Bahrain and would be interested in the community's advice on this matter.

My current career is with the US Air Force , which I have been in for just over 4 years now.I have been looking at investing in land since I was stationed in Alaska.

To imply poor people don't have a right to housing or that a landlord who provides them housing should be penalized is wrong.Poor people work in essential jobs at meat packing plants, grocery stores, gas stations and restaurants.

Maybe it's next to a cop station.

Hey @Trey Dyer, I am AD currently stationed overseas. 

How long are you stationed there?  

Downtown walking distance to everything including the train station.

Go into this without the expectation of refinancing.Take the 15 year seller financed route, this can fly without the Safe Act issues, but set it up for it to be fully amortized.Make sure you don't have a prepayment I'd index those adjustments as well.As to the low traffic, what is acceptable is very light commercial use, in home offices, a one chair beauty shop, what is not acceptable are high traffic counts, walk-in traffic, businesses that carry high exposures to various risks, like a gas station on the property.

I also own a rental property in NC where I was stationed prior.
