Big military base and probably lots of border trade if that continues.

@Chris Blackburn, while I can't speak to this specifically, there are a few red flags I see in your post.1: A Realtor has to be a member of the national association of realtors, an industry trade group primarily focused on your typical home buyer.  

On that scale we have a range of properties in our portfolio, even though I have started to trade out properties from the lower end back in 2014/2015, and some cashflow a little better - however, when you look at the total financial picture there is a lot more than cash flow: obviously appreciation, but also principal pay down, turn over rate and soft factors like tenant quality and with that turnover cost.RE's primary superpower is equity, cash flow is secondary.

Since all these Companies are publicly traded, you can read their yearly 10K'S and quarterly 10q reports. which are very transparent as to how they generate their profits and what risks their seeing on the horizon.

At $377K/door, this building's costs will be nearly 2X what a similar building would trade for in this location.  

So it looks like you trade a second lien.

I don't require my agents to join NAR and in fact dropped my membership when I opened my own brokerage.If the situation made sense, I wouldn't necessarily require an agent to join MLS, but it's such a basic tool of the trade, I can't imagine someone who is active in the business going without it.

My thought is is use the Rent Ready feature of reporting his payment history to the credit bureau so it can work in his favor as a trade line, but I'm wondering if this is an unnecessary added step since he can already pull transactions on his bank side. 

The trade-off that I don’t accept is that service would suffer.
