Police officers and soldiers carry guns every day and they still get shot and killed. 

@Melvin Noriega I would also prefer a Fourplex if possible but as a single soldier living in the barracks, not unless the 3 other units are rented then my pay wouldn't be able to cover the holding costs.

During those adversities, Kaleigh’s strength took over, and she optimistically soldiered on.Michael finished their cabin and they moved in.

Hello everyone I'm brand new and stumbled across bigger pockets just the other day, I'm a soldier in the U.S Army and would like some people to discuss real estate with, I am as new as it gets and just want to have a better life for my family I'm very interested in the "BRRR" method but am a little scared to make such a bold purchase being so new.

Many soldiers/sailors/airmen look to the housing office for available housing off-post.Sorry for the long drawn out email, but back to the original topic/question: Has anyone else had significant problems with military tenants?

The downfall to this is that the overall market rate for rentals is essentially capped at the rate of which DoD pays service members for housing here (most single family rentals are in the $800-$1200 range)With this being an active duty base, deployments are going to happen; however, the vast majority of soldiers living in off post housing receive their housing allowance due to being married or with dependents, most of which remain in the area and paying rent while the service member is deployed. 

Has anyone heard of single soldiers going this route to get started in real estate?

One of the greatest stories I heard was a soldier who was going to retire at the age of 38 with 10 rental properties completely paid off by consistently buying houses where he was stationed and put them on 15 year mortgages. 

The townhouse is in an ok area, they look fantastic, great curb appeal, close to Military bases in Colorado Springs which are bringing in another 25,000 soldiers in the next 2 years.

The process of sending the money soldiers out and have them return is the fastest, strongest way to build rapport.The 1st few deals i did borrowing from private person was givng them extra collateral by cross collateralizing existing property and presenting a deal that had alot of equity.
