You would need to make significantly more in gross annual income as a civilian in order to equal the amount of take home pay you receive in the military.Thirdly, This depends on a few things.

Keep in mind 90% of the buying public have never transacted have never been on BP and have no clue how a real estate transaction goes together.its easy for investors to think this way.. most can it themselves after they have closed a few deals.. but civilian buyers and sellers they need help or nothing would get done. 

I am a veteran who is currently deployed as a civilian contractor.

I asked one tenant that I would need to have the unit vacant because it was inhabitable. 

He has one more year until he has fulfilled his contract and then he plans to move into a civilian job. 

Military has a unique set of rules and allowances different from civilians. 

MacDill Air Force Base is at the Southern Tip of the South Tampa Peninsular and serves as US Central Command with many, many military families and civilian contractors.

Tenants began a lawsuit to buyer in July 2019, for inhabitable conditions(mole, water leaks, no screens) & breach of lease agreement saying they had a one year lease not month to month.

But, if there are certain circumstances (such as a member of the party is a senior citizen or the conference or event was canceled due to coronavirus precaution) then I would consider making an exception.At all times we would refund the guest's payment if something should happen that would prevent the guest from accessing or using the property, such as it becoming inhabitable due to fire or flood, or a mandatory evacuation due to a storm or hurricane, or roads or airports being closed that would prevent the guest from accessing the property, etc.

But FHA or similar loans could get you in for a “live-in BRRRR” if inhabitable with value-add possibilities.
