I initially was interested in what CM was saying just due to his wife, whom I'd followed in tech media for years.

Our initial goal has been to buy a property every time the Army relocates me (roughly every two years) and rent it out afterward.

Consult with competent legal counsel to guide you regardless of your choice here.

What if I told you that you could purchase this property at 20-30% of the initial price, would you take that deal? 

Here’s how you can stay informed and ensure your rental properties meet all legal requirements.1.

Because now, legally, they have to disclose that if this all falls out.

@Cade Antonucci it frustrating but I am yet to find a legal on line way of doing this. 

Seems to me my options are...SELL - If I were to put it on the market I think I could reasonably get $2.8M - $3M, but at a 2.9M sale price my return on my initial investment is only 38%, or 7.6% a year over the 5 years.

I don’t have any legal advice, but maybe some helpful perspective.When we return security deposits, we write the check to all tenants on the lease, such as “Tenant A or Tenant B”.

It's completely legal, very simple but powerful.
