I am hell bent on getting 45 more doors in the South NJ and Hampton Roads areas and retiring from the Navy in 5 years.

He has a double masters in Robotics & a Phd in nuclear reactor design, (he spent a number of years in the Navy in nuclear sub design).

I found that a local credit union where I was purchasing my home (VA loan) had better rates than USAA and Navy Fed.

The younger set in my condos seem to like navy on their doors, so maybe try navy for a cheery look.

So if your property is in a solid neighborhood you should be fine or affected slightly as compared to French neighborhoods which will basically be put on pause for that time

Between Salem and Damneck you will have a strong rental market with Navy personnel stationed at OCEANA, Little Creek or Damneck and even Norfolk Naval.

Yes My unit is NOT in the french quarter so 2618 would be very high for it.

I am trying to avoid purchasing a turn-key property that I would take a loss on or would not cash flow once I move on from SD.I am very early in my search for a property so real estate agents, feel free to reach out with the understanding that me going to SD may not materialize due to needs of the Navy.

If not Navy Federal CU is fairly aggressive marketing loans, so you could start there.   

Also, good luck on the move (navy kid here) and stay safe these days!
