I’m not saying anyone should rent if that doesn’t align with someone’s long term goals, I’m just saying that in most cases if your goal is only to be somewhere for a few years it makes more sense to rent, real estate isn’t magic you just simply can’t create a deal out of thin air, margins are the margins, rates are the rates & you make a plan based on that, but there’s not some secret way to make money, even off market deals I’ve found are often worse margins than on-market deals.

Also my brother was a procurement specialist for the Air Force and we discussed.

Planning to be living together in CLT for at the least 2+ years, after this- up in the air on staying or moving.

I would stick to a more turnkey deal on the first one out of state then look at doing something like an Air bnb on the second or third deal. 

Small city tenants are a breath of fresh air.

Double-tapped breakers, all dishwashers did not function at all, multiple sinks and faucets actively leaked, Improperly installed flooring that had buckled, very high humidity in one units was causing moisture damage, furnaces full of drywall dust, radon systems that were not air-tight in the sump pit, and the list goes on and on.I listed just a few of what would ultimately be the longest repair request I've drafted in my career.  

I would have actually keep the property and corporate leased or air bnb each unit.

I try and stay ahead of the game on PMs I change air filters and get furnace serviced I replace shut off valves and add them where needed.
