We would get off at Ming (I believe was the name of the street), hit McDonald’s or some such place, gas up my mom’s Caddy at the Texaco station and then it was back on the 99!

Should I invest in Houston (hometown) or College Station?

I plan to buy and hold for a few years only, market depending. 4) Not sure how realistic this goal is, but if i shoot for the moon and only hit the international space station, well that's okay, because I'm still way above Everest.

We bought a house in Virginia Beach while my husband was stationed there.

I have a friend that is stationed in Lemoore CA (4hrs north of me) and he said he will rent from me if I buy a house up there.

@Abram Howard, I'm living in Stationed at Fort Lewis, living in Yelm.

Stationed (stuck) there in USMC, but later went back to enjoy the rock climbing.Welcome to BP!

We are about 25 minutes to Virginia Beach Oceanfront and 25 minutes to Naval Station Norfolk.The options as I see them are: -List my house for rent for 12 months and probably not get what I need to cash flow positive (I need $2350/month - *not including a property manager* and most realtors think I can get $2200/month from a long term tenant in this market).

I'm currently stationed in Ga.

I closed on a house 3 blocks south of the station (probably not as good as north of the station).
