Statistically, civilian concealed handgun carriers are even less likely to commit/be charged of crimes than police officers.

Just like how they can create a defense for non-payment of rent based on un-inhabitable property conditions.

They refused to call a real heating/a/c company, until I threatened to report them for providing inhabitable housing due to lack of heat. 

They are basically a metal building that has been finished on the inside and they are considered an inhabitable structure.

On the civilian side I work in the Social Work field, and with Aviation plus my rental properties, I have potential to do very well.

I'm not a lawyer though and this is only what I've interpreted, so may not be 100% correct.Incidentally, my 2nd occupied property is currently inhabited by squatters and I'm working through options to either sign a lease with them or get them out. 

I feel like I can pull the trigger in a couple months on an investment property once I get back home to my civilian life (I am an Air Force Reservist).

My goal is to spend all my hard earned money on a run-down inhabitable structure on a tiny piece of land with hopes of breaking even on rents and the ability of living free...which you guys often refer to as REI :)I hope to meet wonderful inspiring people and learn a thing or two along the way!

I had to use all cash due to the appraisal  - it showed there is significant damage to the home (non-inhabitable)  so I couldn't get a loan on it.

Property has to be in habitable rentable condition. 20% down if can cash flow with PITI.
