I also get $20/month tax free for uniform allowance and not complaining about the 5weeks of vaca. 

As an active duty military member, you are an inspiration to us and I learned a tremendous amount on tangible things I can do today to set my family up for life out of the uniform.

I believe recent "event"  have postponed the problem, but with more and more uniformed millennials reaching adulthood every day the issue will not be corrected until a crash.When that crash happens everyone will be impacted whether they prepare or not, and there's simply nothing that can get the masses of Tide-Pod eating, condom-snorting millenials to reject their pop-culture educations aside from that very same economic collapse they are hell-bent to see.In other words, I recognize that it is inevitable and that there's not a damn thing I can do about it.Until then I plan on being smart with money, investing in real estate, and avoiding wasteful debt on items that aren't income-generating assets... expert for my truck and pets lol

As a result, I always keep my capital dynamic and in motion, hedging against inflation through diversified investments. 

Wipe surface with TSP (1/4 handfull in 1 gallon bucket 3/4 filled water) using cotton rags (real cotton, not the non-absorbent stretchy stuff.)Dab latex (paintable) caulk or toothpaste into nail holes with finger (very tiny amount to just slightly fill the hole) wipe with dry finger, palm of hand or rag.When dry if there's still a sheen when viewed at angle then lightly "scuff-up" surface with 400 or 600 grit sandpaper wrapped around a 1x3x6" sanding block in long vertical sweeping motions.

If the tenant files an answer and it is baseless, I go for the MSJ, or motion summary judgement.

*Obvious exceptions being those who are renting rooms in their own house, or doing a slow-motion flip to take advantage of the tax exclusion.  

Rich Dad Poor Dad is what kicked everything into motion for me.

Motion to sell Seattle to Canada.

Fences add little value on a Uniform Residential Appraisal Report Form.
