Rental Property Behind Air Force Base
I have a question. Would you purchase a property intended for a rental, that is directly behind a military base? I noticed (2) holes in the window that faces the base, they look like bullet holes. Is this something happens when living close to military bases? Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Quote from @Hamp Lee III:
Yes, that could be a great property (barring running numbers). If the numbers work, you can use the property as a short- or long-term rental for military members.
Some bases are in sketchy areas, so make sure you do your due diligence.
I’m active duty Air Force in San Antonio btw. 😉
Thanks, Hamp; I never thought about short-term rental here. Thanks for you service!
