Also, we are an Air Force family and bought houses where we were stationed, so have purchased homes in Arizona, England, Texas and Florida.  

I am currently active duty stationed overseas, but looking to get started in real estate, specifically small multi-family properties, with a property management company for awhile until I can get back to Oklahoma. 

I've been a military wife for 10 years now, and my husband is Active Duty in the Air Force stationed at Little Rock AFB and a Real Estate Investor. 

We started buying a house at every duty station.

The guys at 12 Realty out of College Station might be able to help you.

Drive through East Memphis from Highland to Kirby through the Walnut Grove/White Station/Walnut Grove corridor, those are your good contractors and they have no desire to work in our space.I will obtaining a license to do work for other individuals next year as I realize the need for trustworthy individuals who will understand their are profits to be made in this space with good work, loyalty, honesty and transparency. 

I use Landlord Station.  

I've seen apartments (usually high rise, considered more of a luxury home) near US military bases are being rented out to Active Duty military members that are stationed there and they seem to be doing quite well. 

You'll probably need to have some back flows installed too.A run of the mill FA panel is going to run $1500-7500 depending on how many contact points you need (read # of smoke detectors, pull stations etc), and then there is programming etc.

Originally from the Chicago area, so we are glad to be stationed back home!
