I am a civilian but I work on the bases in SD as an environmental contractor.

Taxpayers are paying you a comfortable living wage to go to college, while our civilian peers are going tens and often hundreds of thousands of dollars into debt to go to college.

I can't imagine the seller hid the fact that the home was inhabited.

We are in the civilian world now without the security net of the military and I'm glad we are adding to our portfolio because civilian jobs don't seem secure as a military contract. 

following - saw the same and wondered the same. i was under the impression that you could buy but you could not then rent a hud home - you had to inhabit it?

They should abolish that little "how 2 civilian" nonsense that wastes a week of your life right before you EAS/ETS, make everyone watch 3 hours of Dave Ramsey, and call it a day.If we had some metric, "net worth of the median veteran 5 years after EAS/ETS," that right there would bump that number up significantly. 

One denotes respect for the inhabitants, the other disdain.And,I love your thought leadership in these communities.

I do have the option of selling the home and remaining a "civilian" as opposed to a "landlord'.

But that is something to consider though if I do get applications for civilian tenants.

This serves that first applicant well, but we have: Multiple applicants for each vacancy, who can be left waiting a week or longer to learn if their applications will even be processedApplicants applying for multiple properties, and tying up units they may have little intention of inhabiting as backups, now that they have this time bufferLandlords with increasing vacancy costs.
