In our area, it is rare to find a gas station where the real estate is owned by the operator.

I am currently an Asset Manager for Multifamily Deals as my W-2 job and looking to buying my first deal in College Station/Bryan Area.Anyone I can connect with to pick their brain on different investing strategies? 

I am right down the way, located in College Station / Bryan market.

Building Fire Stations? 

I'm curious to hear how other property managers and landlords are navigating this.Here in College Station, TX, I don't accept Section 8 applicants.

I'm also from Texas and a realtor here in the Bryan / College Station market. 

Unkempt lawns, trashy or broken down vehicles, mattresses and trash on empty lots, boarded up houses, bars on windows, dealers and hookers on the corners, the lack of stores or gas stations, occupied properties are dilapidated, etc.Or when Google maps shows stuff like this:

It is also possible that either the folks in charge of the station, or the prosecutor have set a policy of not wanting to pursue non violent crimes, or even not paying attention to crimes against folks who are not local residents. 

In my current roll, I manage 17 shopping centers of various sizes and select sites for new gas stations in the Arizona market.

I'm a STR owner / manager located in Texas (Bryan /College Station, TX specifically.)
