@Billy RogersOur goal is to use the income to retire at "will" once my husband reaches retirement age in the military.

Are you in the military or are you Italian?

I had someone the other day who is an E6 in the military try to get out of paying a deposit and last month so I looked up his name and found out he hasn't paid the apartment he's been living at for 5 months.

Being in the military I have lived in Louisiana (Near NOLA). 3.

Based on your photo, I am assuming you are active duty military?

When you get to court you will need to sign an affidavit at the clerk's office about whether you know if the tenant is in the military or not.

The deal is for a 3-plex located in a good area outside a military base.

I'll be "retiring" from the military in the fall of 2015.

Well not sure if I mentioned it before but i'm in the military and currently deployed.

Because I'm military I mainly bank online but if I were able to establish a local branch bank that was convenient to my tenants and just transfer that money to where I need it online that would be great.A lot of these problems result from being a long distance landlord and being across the country from my properties, but I'm glad I can figure out the best method of doing business now so when my portfolio gets bigger I can maximize efficiency.
