can they put french drains?

I'm a military guy as well (still active duty Navy) and I've been investing in real estate since 2016.

Or is it only duplexes im Also a member of navy federal 

So I can pull money from there tax free.I am also retired Navy and will get a small pension from GE.I currently bring in a good bit more from my rental empire than from my day job as an Electrical Engineer.

@Vincent Pirrone aren’t you talking about something like Isaac French’s Live Oak Lake?

Random Fact: I speak fluently French and Spanish.  

There are a bunch of different ways that you can qualify for the abatement....http://www.phila.gov/OPA/AbatementsExemptions/Page...There are business development zones that have additional government assistance called Keystone Opportunity Zones, but I don't know much about that expect that they are near the Navy Yard and by 30th and Market.I don't have any real estate investments in Philly.

Just looking at this navy federal military choice loan as an option after the VA loan entitlement has been used up.

For me I have done yard work, paint, build a french drain (omg this was so much work, but I did it in 2 days and save $1700), killed termites (trenched a barrier and saved $1,500 by doing it myself).All the things I did require little skill other than lots of manual labor and hard work.
