Its too bad she's very nice, well dressed obviously ex army, just no income.

I'd be thankful for any contacts and tips.I think if I was to go with buying and renting my own properties I'd probably want to buy them out outright, rather than using 200k as down payment for an army of properties.While I imagine it would be the smarter way of using the money, as someone who never had a cent of debt in his life until I bought a house last year, the thought of owing money doesn't agree very well with me.The local areas in which I'd think of buying properties around here (if I went with that option) are both university towns and I know I could get 2-3 condos with 200k, leaving anything above the 200k for emergencies, renovations etc if needed.

I don't think the army will close this base, I think it definitely has a future, but I think what worries me is that with my lack of experience (both in the area and with real estate in general) I'm not sure what kind of effect troop reductions will have on the local market.

The building is located about 8 miles from a major army base. 

He informed me I could call a private environmental consultant who could have it verified and mitigated or approved from the Army Corps of Engineering. 

Short Term Goal for 2015: Purchase first multi-unit investment (My only "investment" thus far was my residence that accidentally turned into a rental)Long Term Goal: Create 75k in cashflow by January 2018 so that I can leave the United States Army and spend more time with family.
