I keep the rentals full and we do have a lot of military and civilian vendors for the military that bring people in regularly. 

Landlord will not move furniture and belongings in order to dry out the carpet, they consider it the tenant's obligation.Who's responsible for moving the furniture around to get the apartment back to being inhabitable ?

"Boomers will not inhabit this vast inventory (32 million homes) forever," and with the change in circumstances i.e. aging, watch out.

So; don't do that.You are absolutely allowed to rent out any portion of the building (example: a room if it's a SFH, or a whole unit if it is a 2-4 unit property).As for any regulations on renting to military members, if your branch of service has strict regulations for that, it would probably be in your best interest to just rent to civilians.

We have come a long way since the Civilian Marksmanship Program but Obama would be sticking his hand in a hornet's nest if he seriously went for this in the next 4 years.

Along with airmen in the dorms, families that live in base housing that want to move off base.If your looking for civilian employees to fill your units, they have community boards pretty much in every building on base.

I get that you hate Realtors, but you're making some pretty heavy assertions of malfeasance that I doubt you can back up.I think what civilians who really don't know how brokerage today works.. don't understand.. brokers don't tell people what to buy..

The contractor is in charge of things like getting materials within 500 miles of the project, % recycled content of the materials, etc.Overall, buildings going for certification typically run alot more expensive due to all the paperwork, control / supervision, consultants, and increased cost of materials.Was told by a LEED AP, "These are high perormance buildings that both help the environment as well as stimulate local economy"All new government buildings are designed to be LEEDs certified but see why a private developer would go for it other than to use it as a marketing tool to their potential inhabitants.

Service members are people, which means they do bad things sometimes. we all like to believe that every service member serves the country and the civilian populous with honor and respect. not always the case there are bad people in the military also, most are good people and will be above average tenants.

Just because you're a civilian doesn't mean that you give up your right to self-defense.
