I am hoping to learn from someone who knows about REI so that I am ready to purchase my first rental property once I leave to my first duty station.

Interestingly, they've recently negotiated a re-purchase price with us IF we bring new funding to the table.The rehab is required for several reasons: (a) correct the damage the bank has allowed to happen to the property improvements these past few years (known problems include completely destroyed pool makeover; wild animals living inside the residence; flooring missing in sections of the rec center building; destruction of the decorative main entry gate mechanism; lots of dead landscaping; as well as latent defects not known to us such as working plumbing, HVAC & water services) AND (b) expansion & upgrading of the accommodations (converting the private residence to a 2-story lodge with the restaurant/bar, reception/check-in, movie room, public restrooms, gym/sauna/steam room/massage therapy room; enlarged pool & deck area with climate-controlled cover for year round use; conversion of former restaurant/bar building to a general store selling venue collectibles & wearables, selected pre-packaged foods, sundries, RV & camping items, bagged ice & a propane refill station; construction of a free-standing event center; free-standing cabins; enlarged & upgraded RV park with its own small restroom/coin-op laundry building; outdoor activity areas; new landscaping & fencing; new parking area & entry drives (personal car & RVs).We know our target audience having created and operated the former version of this resort for almost years creating an initial membership base numbering about 1,100.

When you get sent to a new duty station, rent out your current home, and purchase a new one that fits whatever size family you have at that time.

Specifically, I am looking for smaller multi-family properties with a maximum of 20 units, as well as triple net commercial properties such as gas stations and hospitality properties in Edmonton, Alberta.

Most people in Tokyo use public transportation, so properties near popular train or subway stations are best. 

Current operator is leasing a gas station from third party.

I've already have set up a cold calling station as well.

Took nearly 2 years and help from the local NBC station to get some kind of resolution which is confidential.
