If there are any issues with late payments or damage to a property you can always contact their commands to get your money back. 

TWO rent collectors - aside from your property manager, you can rely on a tenant's chain of command to ensure your paid rent.

I found in my research that the returns worked out much better for condos in this local market because they command similar short term rents to houses, but cost a lot less (even accounting for HOA and no extra capex for a house).

Can a fenced property command higher rent?

I've noticed that, when scanning, if a property can easily command 1% of the purchase price in rent per month then it might work.

something that is already depreciated out wouldnt command high rents but i felt would be the bottom of what rents could go and would be stable. 

This makes it an ideal location for investors seeking to purchase rental properties at a relatively low price point, while still being able to command high rents.Another draw for real estate investors is the city’s affordability.

It's not a commandment or law of thermodynamics.

If you're an officer are you going to rent to higher in command or enlisted? 

There's a difference between an upgrade or a perk that makes the property nicer and will command a higher ARV or rent.
