It is always better to be pleasantly surprised during due diligence because expenses are less than your original estimate (50%).  

You don't need to call anyone when you have it in writing from .mil direct.You will note that I have an "Active Duty End Date," letting you know that I'm presently a civilian, and that you should reject me as a tenant applicant if I'm trying to pretend that I'm active duty still.Make sure that whatever "Active Duty Status Date" they give you, bump it forward in time a month or two when you search, because it searches for people who enlisted "on or before" this date but will return null results for folks who joined "after" this date.

@Billie Miller After I spoke with the realtor, I found out only two of the units were currently rented at this point in time.

There are hills and valleys, but it is a pleasant path...stay the course.

Now, they are fully expecting that i will rent to them, based on our initial conversation which was actually quite pleasant.  

At this point in time, I want to stretch my capital as far as practical when I find the right deals and can lock them in while rates are still low.

Normally that means home inspection (usually a very short time frame), failure to finance, or if another condition of the offer isn't satisfied in time. 

I hear from them just an hour ago, the current renter pays in time, but the lease ends on the 31st of August.

thank you for your perspectiveunfortunately in this market and this area at this point in time the buyer does not have the leverage as if it were 2010.
