Aloha,Military Tenants can be excellent, however after over 20 years on this rock with NUMEROUS bases from all branches, there are some considerations: First of course, is the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, which does provide that any Rental Agreement can be broken with 30 plus days notice due to Permanent Change of Station or a Deployment of more than 180 days.

What a relief it is to work with people you can rely on - your customers will know that.

I've found several with a monthly HOA less than $150/month and comes with great amenities for my renters and what a relief to not have to maintain the building or yard.

Interior French drains and drain tile systems, while providing relief that is relatively inexpensive, are inferior to the exterior French drain system from a technical perspective.

Bob is right, you will need relief from that stay in order to do anything...which includes talking to the borrower.  

and upgrades, I got/get them done as I saved up the money for them.I also now have a HELOC for the property, which is a huge sense of relief. 

So I have to come up with approx. 7k-10k,  definitely not as bad as the 20-50K I figured I would need in hand originally so there's a little relief there.  

Maybe, during your next trip to the San Francisco Bay Area, you can join my investor group and provide us some comic relief :-)  Seriously, please do get in touch with me if you're planning to be in town. 

Customized invoices, online payments, automated reconciliation (not fully automated) and a hundred other nifty toys. 

I am guess, although not sure, the landlord likely has to file for relief first.
