There was so much that resonated with us, so I wanted to confirm everything you said.1) Our target locations are near hospitals, and our target tenants are traveling medical professionals, but we also have other industries such as Amazon, construction, and military operating in our area who have reached out to us through Furnished Finder (FF).

I am able to put an extra payment on the principle every year in order to chip away at it early on, but i plan on getting out of the military around the back end of 2025.

There was a maximum percentage of units owned by the developer as well as all units in the building were required to be completed through drywall.We ended up partnering with local lenders (4-5 banks and credit unions) who could finance the sales which ended up costing about .5 pts higher than other loan products.

I would like to see if I can put the money that I have put a side for investment property into a REIT and then when I retire from the military, would it be possible to do something like an 1031 exchanges into an investment property.

A local credit union also mentioned something called a "savings secured loan" which can be used for anything (even going on vacation), but I don't know if there are tax benefits to that and I don't think I can do that under an LLC.  

Your carrier can also put in through his union to have a box added to his route because he is paid based on the numbers of boxes he must deliver to.If they press you for more information tell them you're renting out the attic/basement and it needs its own address for mail.

For example, Clarksville, TN (outside of Fort Campbell military base) could be a great option.

I think it's fine to risk a small portion of your net worth on a gamble, but everything else means betting the farm.Speaking of farm, here are 50 acres in Hilsboro for $3M https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/NW-West-Union-Rd-Hillsbor...Dang, maybe if I..?

My wife and I will likely move there after finishing up my last military tour. 

California is the largest state in the union, with lots of different areas, diverse populations, etc. etc.
