That was always mandatory for all landlords.Respectfully,5years US Navy

Hi @Kevin French I agree you could learn a lot from working with a Builder.

Yes, this is called a "deed in lieu (that's French for "instead") of foreclosure" in Alabama.  

The track season short term rentals and constant demand from people employed at the Navy training facility could make it work well for buy & hold. 

Easy winters, but hot summers.I was in the Navy so I've spent 5 years in CT.  2 in Groton and 3 at a Nuclear Facility in Windsor no one knew about.

I have seen 95% LTV on owner occupied properties, through Navy Federal Credit Union, but only 70% LTV on investment properties. 

I am active duty Navy, getting ready to get out and I want to start learning the business any way I can. 

We have decided to leave it unfinished, but put the French Drain system in so it won't flood.  

I will be retiring in 3 years from the Navy and would like to establish a steady real estate investment business by that time.

We bought it knowing that we would move on and it would need to be a great rental.Once we bought the first place and saw the potential the bug bit us. 7 houses (8 in march) in 4.5 years and we are forming an empire that will allow us to hopefully early retire early when my husband can from the navy in 14 years (god/navy willing)2) types of finance or loans did you started off with.We started out with a VA loan.
