Hi @Satyajit Bappanadu Manjunath, Option A is the winner. 

As the title states I am soon to be leaving active duty with the Marine Corps after 8 years and will be moving back the the great state of Wisconsin, Green Bay to be specific.

The Army and Marine Corps require single service members with pay grades E-5 and below to live in the barracks.

In every single physical asset investment I made, the one's that did not cash flow by the end of year 1 or even 2, or 3--were the best winners.

Hello @Ocean Marin  Are you in the High Desert? 

You contract with the seller should spell out exactly what the risk are for him; further, you should not do this deal unless (1) the seller utilizes the services of an attorney to advise him (2) you have the cash or credit capacity to payoff or refinance the loan if it is accelerated due to the due on sale clause and (3) proper safeguards by way of third party servicer, escrow, legal documentation, are adhered to.It seems you may have a big winner; however, it’s just these that lead to lawsuits if not handled properly.   

I'm just over the hill in Reno, NV (moved from Marin County) and a lot of parents in the area do the same thing w/ student rentals near UNR.

Winner bidders pay the taxes each year unless and until there is a redemption. 

With that change there will be winners and losers .  

However after switching around to a couple when my team got started as we scaled to 80+ guesty was the clear winner.
