Military Only Tenants

[Bill Tyler]

Would it be a violation of Federal Housing Regulations to make a multifamily property a military only property (active duty, retired, and veterans only)? If so, what would be the difference in doing that vs. a college students only complex?

You can definitely market the property towards military. We put our rental on military sites and only got one civilian. That civilian complained about the jet noise where he built his dream home. I commented that I tried to fly over my house daily, he never called back. We weren't specifically looking for military and would have been happy with anyone willing to pay. We put the rental on those sites because that is what we were familiar with.
