I’ve known a few service members, not in the Lawton area  however, and the consensus seems to be that they would have been more attracted to shorter leases so if they get deployed or restationed they’re not on the hook for a year lease.

Your tenant can contact you with concerns and you can deploy the appropriate team member. 

I am interested in deploying our equity so that we can generate cash flow. 

Wife and I are in our 40's and have some capital we are looking to deploy, we both have worked stressful jobs and looking to do something for ourselves now.

I would just place that $130,000 in my bank and have it sit there, hoping for a downtown to deploy that $130,000. 

ORDo you, yourself, have some capital to deploy?

I am also a great believer in investing when there is distress and deploying capital when you can.If you are looking for yield in the short run, Manhattan may not be for you.

I would like to deploy some money into Multi family 10 to 50 units in the next couple of years.  

There are a plethora of solid, legit hard money lenders looking to deploy capital.

We have never did a flip and have only sold a couple investment properties (not flips: one was because assets needed to be deployed elsewhere (bigger and better investment: our best RE investment yet) and the other was an OOS that was too much work for its return).We are considering a purchase that would be our largest sweat equity purchase yet.
