Military housing is at high occupancy on-post, making various home displacements more common off-post in hotels or short term rental homes.Small multi-family homes vary in neighborhood types, but the majority of them (but not all) are in a low to middle class area, raising the chances of getting unappreciative or undesirable tenants.As I mentioned earlier, I have no properties and only watch the market for now.

Separately, I will be needing to raise rent for existing tenant to match market rates. 

Joel Block's Dealmaker's Symposium is in Austin in 2015 and is the best course on raising money I have found.I'm going to sit through the CCIM courses next year too since they've received good reviews.
