I started young and all on my own in the whole learn as you go and read and ask many questions and hope the lessons learned are easy ones, but I fully believe before you can successfully move into the real estate "game" your personnel finances and available funds need to be in order. 

The lender will expect you to have a certain amount of retainability in service, and we had to get a letter from military personnel showing that we had over a year of obligated service left. 

From a real estate perspective, I can see how the prices of homes could increase given the possibility of such an influx of personnel.

Although I didn't meet enough personnel in either location to form a fully accurate judgement, my instinct is I would relate better to the KW team, they just felt more modern (I am in my mid 20's).

Dogs have the potential to cause more accidents and physically assault someone, Tenant, Guest or service personnel.  

Buchanan, a US military installation so it would widen the rental options to military personnel, tourist, and locals. 

Also you need their w9, copy of insurances CGL and Work Comp, be sure to check your due diligence and check with TX CSLB and ensure that the person signing the contract is authorized personnel that is registered with the Contractor State License Board, if you could not find their name, dont do transaction with them.

Allen County Comm College is typically going to have only 18-20yr olds attending as it's only a 2 yr school - I'd say look to rent to oil/gas, employees, however the industry is in the toilet at the moment - not much going on now.You might check to see if there's a windfarm nearby - I would assume there are one or two, they might have a few support or construction personnel that need short or long term rentals, some like fully furnished - doesnt need to be anything fancy.  

The only problem being stationed there is because of my status I can't buy and own property as military personnel.

All the best...Thanks a lot Brent, how do you guys establish relationship/get a hold of these personnels across the city?
