@Yazeed AtiehWe usually take the train into Hawthorne and get a ride over to Paterson, as my in-laws are a bit closer to the Hawthorne station.

A 2BR rents for $700, the same unit in College Station rents for $800. 

@Austin Groupp I will give you the looking back.I have been in the military 15 years and bought my first place 12 years ago.Each duty station I have refied and used the VA to buy at the next duty station.

Hey @Chris Clothier I went to White Station and University of Memphis!

I'm stationed at Edwards AFB.

I am active duty Air Force in Tech School and just found out last week that my first duty station would be Shaw South Carolina.

@Brandon Elliott bought a house at ALL of the 4 duty stations I was at between 2009 and 2015.I didn’t buy a single one.I should have bought a home with VA loan, refi out of it, and use again at new duty station-would have had 4 rental properties that my housing allowance would have bought equity into just by living my normal life.

I bought some houses in an area where they were going to build a train station, looking for the same exit potentially.

And think of this like gasoline: if you can see gas prices for all the stations on the same day that will give you a good idea about who's price is best.  

They are always dressed well with newer clothes and shoes.One day I saw one of them go buy a soda and some food at a gas station close by, then return to holding his sign for a handout.If people stopped giving them handouts, they would be forced to go and get a job.Chris
