Who has police advice?
In the past I've heard some apartment complexes will let police live there rent-free. That sounds like a reasonable idea to me. Anyone have experience with this?
I'm looking at my first multi-family purchase (24 unit) and I'm curious about this concept. Thank you guys!

I am a police officer and in my opinion, most of the time, officers will most likely not tell anyone that is living there they are a cop. I have lived in apartments in the past and no one knew what I did nor would I try to make it known. I have also never heard of any arrangements such as that at least in my area but I would also not expect it.
