The goal is to find what you want to do and become a master on that specific subject, for example, I'm an active duty Marine and I'm currently station in Japan so the books that I'm reading now are Long-Distance Real Estate Investing and the BRRRR by @David Greene this book are in line with my particular situation and fit my overall strategy.

You took the suitcase all the way to the station on this!

We, my wife and I had purchased 29 units and a gas station with a coffee Franchise with financial backing on the later with a new to us bank.  

Incidentally, the U.S. system is far less accurate than the European system and many stations/sites have gone to using their data.

I am currently in the military, stationed in Germany, but will be back home in lakewood (right at the base of Green Mountain) in one year. 

It's about 3 blocks south of the BART station.

I was talking to a guy has units in Rockwood says he doesn’t need security because the cops are there every night and the station is close by.

A decade ago, this company publicized their efforts:http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fsb/fsb_archive/200...http://articles.latimes.com/2004/jul/25/realestate...In 2003, I started a similar strategy in Denver, and was able to acquire over 40 homesites in Overland, near the Evans Light Rail Station.  

; )Jon, I do have other things to do besides BP, like the implementation of strategic planning to combat Ebola, assist the Kurds with tactical support against ISIL, advise NASA on how, at this point, to resupply the Space Station, all while I'm writing RE and note investing books to practically give away, then making sure my accountant gets all the information he needs and, to top it off, get ready for Christmas.......well, there's only so much I can accomplish, man, even for me!

The Bryan-College Station area will continue to thrive simply because of Texas A&M University, the largest school in the country.
