Thanks for the info Mike I'm planning to deploy some capital into this asset class so this was useful.

It's currently just sitting in a savings account waiting to get deployed.

Have a buddy who closed 242 units while deployed.

As well as being excited about our first home, I was also preparing for a long deployment overseas, so the $900 I was out was not of a big concern at the time.

Don't get stuck talking to operators or salespeople or secretaries, don’t send letters or emails, call someone who is in charge in person, usually they are decent people, and if its in reasonable time, and you have a good reason, chances are you will get a refund.I had to get a refund once when my friend was deployed in the military (no time to take the course, and lost interest in it).

I am currently deployed and educating myself on the costs of rehab and the scope of work.

That way you're ready for the cost when you get deployed elsewhere.  

My husband completed a 10 month deployment from 2014-2015 and a lot of things happened.

Id rather be patient than deploy capital in an under performing asset.

My ex-wife destroyed my credit while on my last deployment and I'm still building it up.
