Here we use interconnected {smoke, CO, etc}, hardwired (w/ battery backup) detectors in all our units {hardwired is a code requirement, it just makes sense to install interconnected units with battery backup}.In a rooming house you will most likely be required to have a full alarm system with hardwired detectors, pull stations, and emergency lighting.  

Baumann,I was stationed there too. 

@Rachel Pivonka google his name, as well as call the police station what they can recommend. ...

Some back ground I used to own a 4 plex when I was in the Army and had my property manager steal $10,000 from me when I was station overseas.  

I was stationed in Abilene TX in the Air Force and have visited the DFW area several time but I'm not very familiar with market there and I'm new to multi family investing. 

Yes, that's true BUT: either permanent change of duty station or deployment on active duty for more than 90 days.

Add grill stations and benches around and maybe even a small playground if you don't have one and I think it adds to your amenities.

We are being stationed in Mississippi and are having to make the decision if we should sell our current home or keep it as a rental.  

We were without electricity for four days and that doesn't sound like a lot until you realize no ATM machine works, no grocery store cash register works, no gasoline station can pump gas out of the ground, etc. etc. etc.
