There's a service commitment, enlisted basic training & if you want to be an officer there's officer training.  

Another ditto to @Jenkins Ramon picking a fight with the DNS, which is what I'd assume they'll think with the no trespass, signs, contesting stuff, etc is basically like committing "RE investor suicide', you're FAR better off getting a good rep with them as someone who when they buy a place, the DNS automatically knows it is good news for the block, neighborhood and city.

They do have some very talented employees who remain committed to their jobs and running into these people can be either a nightmare or a very pleasant dream, depending on what's going on with the client.But I was a little amazed recently when I had a client who was a flipper where the income would have clearly been self employment income.  

I livin Columbia, SC.I would like to start learning about investment before commit myself to real estate investment.Nice to meet you guys!

Why not negotiate a higher rent for 6 months - 1 year with a verbal commitment to lower the rent after they prove they are non-smokers?  

Ask a local title co. what they would require for a title commitment.
