As long as things are going smoothly it is just fine but when it gets bumpy you gotta have some boots on the ground

@Poonam HemrajaniLeander TOD (Transit Oriented Development) would be one of my top choices as well.

There are also a lot of property management companies already set up in these investments for easy transition, which would help investors like me who would be out of state.

I generally look at public transit lines and easy access to the city.

I’m not sure if you’re up for reenlistment, but if you could take another assignment for two years back in the continental US, you might be in a better position to transition to civilian world. 5. i’d highly recommend you consider serving in a reserve status because you’re going to get the cheapest insurance you find and that will help you with your transition to civilian life.

Tony helped me craft my "WHY", a guiding principle that I used to quit my CPA job to buy large apartment complexes, a thread I continue to update - I quit my CPA Job to buy Large Apartment BuildingsSo back to your request, over the years I have transitioned from Certainty to Contribution.

Fortunately the several that did vacate allowed us to raise rents $150-$175/month without a problem & the tenants we screened proved to be highly qualified & we did not have any downtime transitioning between tenants. 

They handled everything quickly and smoothly.  

This was a fairly smooth project Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?
