@Meghan Carson: Thank you so much for your kind words & encouragement—I really appreciate it!

Nice try, but this time does not count.In order to meet 750 hours, your wife will need one of the below:- do something else real estate related, like wholesaling or realtor- actively work on expanding your rental portfolio - have an extensive DIY rehab, like a month-long full-time rehab (and then she might need another kind of rehab)- a calamity such as multiple properties damaged in a storm where she will have to deal with insurers and contractors- something else out of the ordinaryAgain - if all you have is 9 single-family properties with stable tenants and typical occasional maintenance - you don't have enough work to collect 750 hours.

Links are kind of not allowed even though there is a spot for them in the post so some get removed.

As tenants, I'm wondering what kind of offer we could present to our landlord to buy the house we are renting.

By continuing to support a system which has stolen millions of homes from American people, for your own profit,  you are a part of the problem.  

Their debts would include not just car payments, student loans, and credit card payments but also things like child support paid.

They strategically avoid speaking to customers and offer support via online chat to a non US based helpdesk.

And, frankly, all these cases are kind of fun to read.

If you’re not willing to do this, then you may be best off investing in some kind of real estate fund concept.  

Any tips on marketing or preparing a property near a military base for this kind of rental?
