The base molding was chewed on in every room and the tile flooring and laminate flooring were damaged by rabbit urine. 

I know it's a bit more to chew on for our first property.

You dont want to bite off more than you can chew. 

How long does the scenario chew into your cash reserves?

In Glassboro at least, its incredibly ****** market to rent to families, alot like chewing on glass, it may be different for other college towns of course, but Ive had to evict 1 family, and the other, they had a drug operation (found out from neighbors) and a family of 5 plus the family of 3 I rented to living out of the house. 

While higher command has no legal grounds on their soldier not paying rent they can certainly “rattle the cage” and get things progressing.I can tell you from my own past active duty experience, if my LT was chewing me out for anything i got my s**t together in a hurry. 

And honestly....am I’m biting off more than I can chew?

I have an agreement with the seller but looking to partner up or potentially help in the transaction--it's a little more than I can chew investing solo. 

I’m chewing on the idea of helping my son get into an FHA duplex (or tri/quad) but he’s gotta meet some of my “readiness” criteria first.

Just a thought to chew on. :)
