Oh by the way, we move on average about once every 2 years, and when we aren't getting ready to move we deploy overseas for 7 months or so at a time.

Now we have something to show for four deployments...rentals!

I get regular updates from them and it sounds like most of the Capital that was raised has been deployed.

I think the desire to want to deploy $1M fast is the biggest risk here.

The property is 10 minutes from an army base, which just had their "largest deployment since 2003" from what the local newspaper said, so we are seeing a lot of competition in the market right now.

GCIf my business model was predicated on scraping a return off of OPM, I'd be trying to raise and deploy as much of it as possible, with as little work as possible as well.

If you are going to deploy the capital somewhat quickly <1 year it might have been better to do a term loan.  

I can think of 500 (maybe more) better ideas to deploy $125k in cash than to buy a fixer in Akron as an out of state, first time investor.

It would be my primary residence but since i will be deployed i can rent out all the rooms.

Entity (a) holding the assets, and NNN leases profitably, it shouldn't take long before it's sitting on a nice deployable capital reserve, with assets, and nice long-term NNN leases which finance institutes love to see.
