For a given amount of capital, I'd rather have 2 C+ units with a higher cap rate than 1 A+ property with a lower cap rate, although the tenant "quality" may be less.Still, when a PM neglects valid tenant concerns about serious plumbing maintenance issues to the point that the tenant walks out and has a valid argument for contract violation for inhabitable space, that's a problem that changing the neighborhood wont fix.   

From a practical investing standpoint it makes sense to do some ground research and from a more ethereal standpoint it will help decompress and transition back to civilian life, giving you time to take it all in.

I hold a bachelors degree in health care administration and most of my work experience revolves around working in the health care industry, either military or civilian.

I had to send them a letter via my lender of how my new civilian job was like my job in the military.

I have 2-5 years left before leaving my Guard service and DoD civilian job (both with pensions down the road, but secured as of end of 2021), so looking to keep financing risk as low as possible.

If you can "reasonably" do so, the vacating tenant may pay nothing besides the rent for the time they inhabit the property. 

I am nearing 5 months into a 1 year policy and it seems backwards to insure me when I had an inhabitable house vs a house that is now almost completed.Right now I'm running around trying to figure out if I should get the insurance company to come back out to look at the property and extend my policy or get a new policy all together.Any advice is greatly appreciated especially anyone in the insurance field that can help me better understand this.Thanks

Being in the military enables you to access opportunities that civilians can’t.
