I can usually command a higher rent to rent to them

A sailor transfers commands at least every four years.

Typically, people wait until the tenant is out so they can clean it up better and command a higher price, but they are sold with tenants in there quite often also.Your three options are:1.

The same house we might buy for 30-40k seems to now be commanding more in the 70-85k range here in the Des Moines market. 

This avoids a nasty eviction, and affords you the opportunity to upgrade the units to command more rent.

And working with a local property management company we were able to rehab the property and command a much higher rent.

Would need to be all replaced to command any higher rent.

@Brian Wilson even if I retire as a Lieutenant Commander $60,000 retirement a year is not quite enough if I maintain the current bills I have now not to mention what my TSP will pay out when I retire. 

we have done about 1500 of these for NON accredited and accredited investors.. the other thing I like is the same as we are talking about one note one investor.. so that gives you the same command and control the fractionalized notes are fine as long as the broker putting them together with you is very good and reputable..

That said, I do think it's possible to make the property nice enough to command better renters.
