I’ve seen situations like this before..one old friend of mine in Austin had a few industrial buildings where the cash flow was decent but not dazzling, and he was itching for a way to ramp things up.

Are there specific military programs or contacts I should look into for housing opportunities?

These are the different properties that are included in the 1031 exchange requirement: commercial buildings such as offices, schools and different establishments that are important for the population, as well as single family rentals, multi family rentals, industrial facilities, and even raw lands are included in the like-kind.

That's pretty industry standard. 

So, the first question they usually ask a PMC is about fees - instead of asking about services and HOW those services are executed.EXAMPLE: PMC states they will handle tenant screening – what does that specifically mean?

I'll take any and all advice any of you have, but the two things I'm looking for specifically are: what sites, services, and/or software you use and recommend for sceening and managing tenants?
