My wife and I own two single-family rentals up in Whidbey Island, Washington (near Island and Skagit counties), near the Navy base.

Our second goal is to have the house grow large enough to where my husband can retire at 20 years in the navy, so 44.So far we have houses in all the places that we have friends and love to visit.

I've lived in 8 different states and been to a lot of places (US Navy) and I never saw a clean place that was rat-infested.

He is a former Navy SeaBee and does most of his own repairs.

I'm also having french doors to each of the bedrooms for separate access to the outside and making sure my plumbing is close by if I need to add another kitchen or kitchenette.Another thing to check if you can get freddie / fannie lending on a property with 2 accesory dwelling units.

You could change the doors to French doors if there single bifold doors.

Navy Federal Credit Union will loan as low as 10,000.
