Being at the needs of the army puts me at a disadvantage, so I'll just have to switch with what works in the area until I settle down. 

Shema Turner I agree with John Blackman i would start nearbyi have properties in 3 states, and you'll have to pay tax on both states.the one in MA is in a condo with inhouse management crew, so it's "easier" to manage and i have great tenant.the one in NC (that is 10+ hrs away) my retail tenant bought her own shop, so i decided to sell it, i still have a network there to help me, but i am finding it so hard to manage. i am currently looking for a new tenant but have an army of ppl working for me there. and a trusted person/buyer working for same interest. if not i dont' know what i would have done.

Hello,I am a Grand Rapids native and an active duty Army officer who currently resides just outside of Washington DC.

I have received permissions from the officers that I have the freedom to hire whoever to get the needed repairs done ASAP , and we will worry about who pays what later.The entire trap arm is about 6' long about 20" above finished floor. 

The rate today for the 15/15 ARM is 5.125%. 

Hey @Phillip WebbI survived in the ARMY and every duty station I was at I would at least pick up one property adding value buy doing a house hack and light renovations!

Fayetteville has grown a TAD over the last 9 years but nothing like the larger national economy and that is because it essentially has one employer that is not based on meritocracy (the army).

I asked a buddy of mine who is in the Army Corps of Engineers what the best way to apply epoxy over lead painted floors was, without removing the lead first.

Baumann I'm active duty Army and manage two properties out of state.

He considered going into the army and even looked into working for other contractors and I never pushed him to do anything in his life because I want every decision he makes to be entirely his own.About two months ago, my son had finally sorted out his options and decided to give working for my company a try and he has been to work every day on-time and even works every Saturday even though he doesn't have to and he even goes with me on emergency calls on Sundays.
