Just ponder the probable fate of the absconding tenant with a used major appliance....Think how the tenant probably is sore from trying to carrying it away quietly in the night; may have messed up their old SUV or station wagon trying to fit it in the back; and could have damaged the frig in the move--so all their food will spoil this week when it goes kaput; or they get an expensive repair and may even find out the hard way an old frig can be a liability and costly to dispose of...I like the advice of it being a small price to pay to be rid of them... but do consider a security deposit offset for the replacement cost.

Did you try to invest in Hawaii while you were stationed there?

Property values near the new stations have increased very significantly and values near proposed new stations have also started to rise.However, we have significant growth in Denver right now anyway, so it's really hard to pinpoint what's a factor of overall growth and what's a factor of the light rail expansion.  

Greetings I just got stationed at Fort Gordon.

I have a military background and have been stationed overseas.

I'm going to be stationed In the Killeen Area, but I've heard that it was a bad area , I won't know for sure until I actually get there.

I would also run test ads to test to see if you can fill vacancies easily, I would research the market to see if there are a lot of jobs for low income folks in the area (stores, gas stations, construction, blue collar jobs, etc), check the crime rate, find out what the median house hold income is, find out what the median house price is, check if there are schools close by for families, etc. your due diligence is going to be a huge list so that you know this will Be a good-great investment for you.

As for the articles and posts on BP, that has been what I've been focusing on (mostly on the podcast since it's a more interactive way to learn & also I have a very long commute every day about an hour and a half to one from work).Depending on what duty stations are available when it's time for me to pick orders, will determine if I will leave the military or not after this study station.

It is in a good location - where rental demand by professionals commuting to NYC, is generally high due to proximity to train station.   

Downtown walking distance to everything including the train station.
