But the point guard shouldn't try to be the power forward.

She turned me on to it and now confidence has grown.Your story helps a great deal, so carry on.Thank you.Btw lived in Tokeland, Grayland and Aberdeen when I was in the Coast Guard at Westport, WA.

Please tell me your first and last name as well as the name of the company or investor group you are working with if applicable.Them: (Caught off guard) Um, I'm not required to give you my last name...blah, blah, blah.Me.

@Greg Scott were you able to get your Personal Umbrella policy to go over the Lloyds policy from REI Guard? 

I don't think the vacation rental idea would work in HVL, no one vacations there and getting nightly guests past the HVL guard shack would be a never-ending pain for you.I'm sorry to deliver this harsh reality, but it comes from doing over 600 flips and also from having some of them go wrong, so I've been in your situation.  

I was caught off guard how strong the real estate market was for about 3 months. 

Actually no one there seemed to be using any creative strategies..maybe that means there are some deals left for me (or they keep their secrets well guarded).

I was an engineer in the Coast Guard for 7.5 years and have two rental properties.

I was also in the Guard here in Arizona for 9 years and have personally used my VA loan twice along with helping many of my veteran brothers and sisters use theirs as well.

Time and time again, I hear that the military (Navy, Army, Air Force, and Coast Guard) are constantly moving people into the area which means that compared to other markets, we are stabilized and don't have as much volatility as other markets.
