The military brings a lot of folks out here with a healthy BAH to rent but you usually can find 2 bedrooms hear for around 2000-2500 (depending on area). 

Healthy tenant base and rental demand as well as two section 8 voucher providers in the city, CTI and LHA.

If they have paid off property (especially if the investor is much older), they probably have a healthy stock portfolio as well :) Debt has worked for me, and I'm glad it works for you too!
