I served 5 years in the Marine Corps as a Military Working Dog handler/trainer and still do this job with the same dog as a civilian.

Gunner/technician/infantryman/MP/SP etc...The reason I am making sure all this checks out is because there are many civilians who get off on the honor of military personnel.

Last Friday I had a fire in one of my condos.  10 out of the 12 units are inhabitable.  

Excluded from these requirements are sales of property with 1-4 dwelling units that has never been inhabited, sales exempt from real estate transfer fee, and sales by certain court-appointed fiduciaries (for example, personal representatives who have never occupied the Property).

And is inhabitable.

So when I listed both units on Craigslist I had somewhere between 30 to 40 showings and through the tenant screening company I used to perform the background check, the employment history, the credit check and so on, I was able to hand pick based on the evidence before me who I'd choose to inhabit the units.  

You can read about it here.https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2014/04/0...It sounds like a transition to civilian life may be on the horizon for you and, if that's the case, as a veteran, I encourage you to engage the counselors at the transition office and take advantage of all the resources they have available to assist you.

The risk of ending up having to sell while underwater exists for anyone, of course, but it is a bit higher for active duty military using VA 0% down.For a veteran that is now a civilian, they have much more control over their lives and the timing.

A-properties are the most recently constructed units, those that contain top amenities, require low maintenance, and are inhabited by young white-collar workers.

If you have a 1980's split level that just needs a $20k "refresh" but is otherwise totally inhabitable, a bank can lend on that assuming it will be a primary residence or you have enough money down to qualify for an investment loan (30% typically).
