We are also military, and spent 16 years total in the UK, so we started where we were planted, and bought our first house in England. 

I never have to battle weather elements because my position is inside a processing and distribution plant.

The smell of sewerage from a local treatment plant reaches the property three times a week19.

(Note I'm aware of several properties/owners that do this, but it does run afoul of the city's bylaws etc) and I think you end up with significant tenant management issues.Western University has a similar structure (Just with higher per bedroom prices for purchasing and same rent per room - which is offset by potential for more appreciation), however counterbalancing it is the fact that if you're close to the downtown you can also attract new grads/young professionals (which creates a more resilient rental property).Hopefully the above helps give you a better idea of student rentals in London.

One or two large trees on the left side would balance the asymmetrical windows, with low curving planting beds on either side of the porch.

I made every attempt to insulate them from us by adding r38 in their floor joist and using resilient channels before the 5/8" drywall was put up on my ceiling.

From mowing the lawn and maintaining the bushes to planting flowers and fixing the detached garage, all on his own dime.  

If it is something a little different, our title plant might have access to it or help figure out some leads on tracking it down.  

I'm pretty tenacious and resilient.

Water damage like over-watering a potted plant can cause that.
